Mid-Career Fellowships

The Mid-Career Fellowships are designed both to support outstanding individual researchers with excellent research proposals, and to promote public understanding and engagement with humanities and social sciences. The scheme frees successful applicants from normal academic commitments for 6 to 12 months to complete a major piece of research.

Who can apply

Applicants must be employed at a UK-based university, Higher Education institution or Independent Research Organisation, be mid-career scholars usually within 15 years of their doctorate (or first academic appointment if no doctorate), and demonstrate an outstanding contribution to their field and capacity for public engagement.
