Fellowship Opportunities

Fellowships at the IfA

Fellowships 

The IfA encourages applications to post-doctoral research fellowship schemes to be hosted here.

Short-duration early-career fellowships

Longer senior postdoctoral fellowships and grants, typically for researchers more than ~4 years out of their PhD

How to apply

People interested in applying for any fellowship to be hosted at IfA should, in the first instance (and as early as possible) contact a relevant member of academic staff who would be prepared to sponsor any application.

To provide transparency and efficiency in the management of applications, we operate an internal review process for most of the Fellowships listed above. Further details about the application process, and internal submission deadlines, can be found on the School's Fellowships webpage. 

Once an application has been approved, the School's grants team will then provide support and advice on internal deadlines. You should contact the grants team at least 14 working days in advance of the formal fellowship deadline.  Typically, internal deadlines require submission of an advanced draft for internal review/feedback 10 working days before the deadline.  Where the proposal submission needs to go through the central University, the final proposal will typically need to be submitted 5 working days in advance of the deadline.
