[Commlist] UEA Leverhulme Early Careers Fellowships, 2026

*University of East Anglia, Faculty of Arts and Humanities*

*Leverhulme Early Career Fellowships 2026*

**

The Faculty of Arts and Humanities invites expressions of interest for 
Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowships to be held at the University 
of East Anglia (UEA).  Early Career Fellowships aim to provide career 
development opportunities for those who are at a relatively early stage 
of their academic careers, who are yet to hold a full-time permanent 
post but who have a proven record of research. The expectation is that 
Fellows should undertake a significant piece of publishable work (but 
should not be a reworking or extension of the doctoral research project) 
during their tenure. Fellowships have to start between 1 September 2026 
and 1 May 2027.

Each year the Faculty supports a limited number of applications for 
projects in: the School of Media, Language and Communication Studies; 
the School of History and Art History; the School of Literature, Drama, 
and Creative Writing; the School of Politics, Philosophy and Area 
Studies, Interdisciplinary Institute for the Humanities; the Sainsbury 
Centre; the Sainsbury Research Unit and the Sainsbury Institute for the 
Study of Japanese Arts and Culture.

UEA is fully committed to supporting the scholarship and career 
development of these fellows, and each will be assigned an academic 
mentor and will be fully integrated into the life of their host School / 
unit.

A candidate may submit only *one* application per year. Previously 
unsuccessful applicants may reapply.

Each Faculty at UEA has its own process so please make sure you follow 
the one for the faculty you want to be considered in.

If you are interested in applying, please:

  * Read the guidance about the scheme at:

  * Make sure you meet the Leverhulme Trust eligibility criteria. Please
    note we cannot assess EoIs from applicants who do not meet this
    criteria.
  * Make contact with the Faculty of Arts and Humanities academic member
    of staff closest to your research area to ask if they act as your
    mentor if successful and provide advice on your application.

Unsupported applications will not be considered.
