[ecrea] Call for expressions of interest: Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowships - Cardiff University

*Call for Expressions of Interest: Leverhulme Trust Early Career 
Fellowships, School of Journalism, Media & Cultural Studies, Cardiff 
University***

The School of Journalism, Media & Cultural Studies (JOMEC) welcomes 
expressions of interest from postdoctoral applicants to the 2018-19 
Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship scheme.

JOMEC is a top rated institution in the UK for media teaching and 
research that helps to shape international media, journalism and 
communication landscapes. We combine a long-standing record of 
excellence in teaching and training with an outstanding research 
portfolio, routinely winning awards from a wide range of bodies. This 
reputation was recognised in the 2014 Research Excellence Framework, 
where we were ranked 2nd for the quality of our journalism, media and 
communications research. When compared with 66 other institutions in the 
UK, 89% of our research was classed as either ‘world-leading’ or 
‘internationally excellent’, with both our research environment and the 
impact of our research receiving a score of 100%.

If you are a highly-qualified researcher with an innovative postdoctoral 
project, please get in touch to discuss with us.

Due to the highly competitive nature of the scheme, we will only 
consider applications from postdoctoral scholars. Applicants should have 
started working on a second project that may develop from but moves well 
beyond the frame of their prior thesis topic.
