Women in the Humanities Postdoctoral Writing Fellowship 2018
Women in the Humanities is an interdisciplinary programme which aims to explore how gender and sex play out in history, art, philosophy, music, language and literature, as well as the ethics and politics of gender identity and equality in the Humanities.
It seeks to promote the opportunities Oxford offers to women working in the Humanities at all career stages, as well as promoting the study of women’s lives within the Humanities at the University.
The fellowship
Applicants will be notified of the outcomes of their applications via email by 22nd October 2018.
A postdoctoral writing fellowship worth £5,000 is available to early career scholars within three years of the award of a doctorate who do not yet hold a permanent academic job.
The fellowship will be tenable for between 3 and 6 months from 13 January 2019. Funding may be used for travel expenses, living expenses and research activities that will enable the Fellow to publish their doctorate or aspects of their doctoral work.
The Fellow will be a scholar whose work promises to significantly advance knowledge of women’s lives, experiences and/or representation.
They will be mentored by an experienced academic in their field, and will be expected to be a regular participant in WiH activities.
Why apply?
Successful applicants will be able to promote their projects through the Women in the Humanities website as well as use rooms in the Radcliffe Humanities Building.
The successful applicant will be required to engage in the intellectual life of WiH by attending and presenting a paper at a relevant research seminar series and by attending and initiating research activities within WiH.
They will be required to produce a short report of the activities undertaken and their outcomes and, where possible, provide a visual record for use on the WiH website.
