Mellon/Newton Interdisciplinary Post-doctoral Research Fellowships
An annual competition for two 2-year research fellowships based at CRASSH
CRASSH runs a five-year programme of interdisciplinary postdoctoral research fellowships funded jointly by the Mellon Foundation and the Isaac Newton Trust. The first awards were made to Dr Christos Lynteris and Dr Simon Mills who take up their fellowships on 1 October 2011. Details of the second competition will be announced in the Michaelmas term, with a deadline of late March/early April.
The Fellowships are aimed at researchers working in any field of the arts, social sciences or humanities and will enable post-doctoral fellows to consolidate their research and publication record while developing a related project or initiative at CRASSH during their two-year fellowship. Applicants must have completed the PhD by the application deadline and should normally have been awarded it not more than three years prior to taking up their fellowship. Fellows would be expected to spend at least half their time on their own research while initiating or co-ordinating a project at CRASSH.
