Description complète : Applications for postdoctoral bursaries are invited from researchers seeking to pursue a programme of independent scholarship focused on gender and sexualities studies, in association with GENDER.ED: https://www.gender.ed.ac.uk/. GENDER.ED is the cross-University hub for gender and sexualities studies from an interdisciplinary perspective at Edinburgh. The hub was launched in 2017 to showcase and promote the range, significance and excellence of teaching, research, knowledge exchange and impact in gender and sexualities studies at the University of Edinburgh. It seeks to build and sustain communities of interest at all stages of student, researcher and academic careers.
IASH, where the fellowship will be hosted, provides an enviable location in one of the world’s most intellectually inspiring cities, together with a dynamic network of international connections. Home to the Scottish Enlightenment, Edinburgh has a rich cultural heritage of scholarship and creativity that continues to the present day. In this haven of libraries and archives, galleries and music venues – all set amid iconic architecture – IASH takes the humanities beyond campus to engage the public and work with organisations in a variety of different sectors.
The Institute welcomes visiting researchers from across the world. Since 1970, over 1,350 Fellows have stepped through our doors. Up to 30 researchers are in residence at any one time in our amazing – and eclectic – nineteenth-century building just on the edge of the University’s central campus, boasting views of the Meadows. From upwards of 70 countries, IASH Fellows form a global alumni community, and many career-long connections begin at the Institute.
Critères d’admission/attribution : We warmly welcome applications from both within and beyond the University of Edinburgh. Applicants must have been awarded a doctorate at the time of application, and normally within the last seven years (you must be able to produce a transcript, testamur, or a letter of completion/eligibility to graduate as part of your application; you do not need to have actually graduated at the time you apply). You should not have held a permanent position at a university, or a previous Fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities. Those who have held temporary and/or short-term appointments are eligible to apply. If you have taken parental leave or other time away from academia, this will not count towards the seven-year limit, but we ask that you provide brief details of why and for how long you were not working.
Financement : GENDER.ED offers the opportunity to connect with gender and sexualities scholars pursuing interdisciplinary research at the University of Edinburgh and beyond. The network has its own programme of activities and events, including its reading group and annual research showcase in which the GENDER.ED Postdoctoral Fellow will be invited to participate.
IASH hosts a lively scholarly community of visiting fellows. It is a supportive environment for postdoctoral researchers, while also offering networking opportunities with successful mid-career and eminent senior scholars. The Institute occupies a historic building with private courtyard and leafy views – perfect for uninterrupted thinking, reading and writing. Yet there is also plenty of opportunity to socialise and share ideas.
In short, a 2024-2025 GENDER.ED Postdoctoral Fellowship provides:
Research visit at the University of Edinburgh for three to ten months
Bursary* of up to a maximum of £20,000
Dedicated office space, University e-mail and library access
An allocated University mentor from the staff affiliated with GENDER.ED or another area relevant to the Fellow’s research interests
Weekly Fellows’ Lunch to build community
Collegial work-in-progress seminar series for testing new ideas
Calendar of engaging events at the Institute and College
Opportunities to participate in and design funded workshops, colloquia, etc. at the Institute
Visa sponsorship if required
* The bursary may be used to top up an existing postdoctoral Fellowship (e.g. British Academy), or as a contribution towards living expenses. Applicants are asked to indicate other sources of support for which they have applied and the expected date of outcome. No teaching is required, but successful applicants may be able to supplement the bursary by individually arranging their own concurrent teaching, though the Institute expects that a maximum commitment of 0.4 of a full-time position will be dedicated to work other than the Postdoctoral Fellow’s individual research project.
