The SEDarc Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) is delighted to announce that we have been awarded funding from the ESRC to host Postdoctoral Fellows for the 2025-26 academic year.
Fellowships are aimed at providing a development opportunity for those in the immediate postdoctoral stage of their career, to provide the opportunity to consolidate their PhD through developing publications, their networks, and their research and professional skills. Fellowships are for 12 months.
The funding opportunity will be open to applicants who:
- Have completed their PhD at a UK research organisation.
- Have been awarded a PhD or have passed their viva voce with minor amendments by the application deadline of 25 March 2025 and have been awarded their PhD by the fellowship start date of 1 October 2025. If major corrections are required to your thesis, you will not be eligible for this year’s funding opportunity.
- Have no more than 12 months active postdoctoral experience since passing their viva voce (allowing for career breaks) by 25 March 2025. The period of active post-doctoral experience should be calculated from the viva voce being passed to the closing date of 25 March 2025.
- Are not a permanent member of staff in an academic position with a research component.
