British Academy/Leverhulme Senior Research Fellowship

The British Academy/Leverhulme Senior Research Fellowship provides established scholars with a sustained period of research leave for one year to bring to completion a significant piece of research. It supports applicants in the humanities and social sciences who need relief from teaching and administration. The fellowship is funded by the Leverhulme Trust and the Thank Offering to Britain Fund and covers the salary of a replacement lecturer and limited research expenses.

One year of research leave; payment of a replacement lecturer's salary and associated employer costs; research expenses up to £5,000.

Applicants must be established scholars employed in a UK institution; the Academy takes no account of an applicant's age or current status. Any field of study in the humanities and social sciences is suitable for support.

Submit an online application through the British Academy's Grant Management System (Flexi-Grant) with required UK institutional approval.
