Postdoctoral Fellowships
 The British Academy has issued a new call for applications for the British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships scheme. This scheme is designed to enable outstanding early career researchers to strengthen their experience of research and teaching in a university environment, which will develop their curriculum vitae and improve their prospects of obtaining permanent lecturing posts by the end of the Fellowship.
The deadline for outline submissions is 1 October 2008 for awards to be taken up from September 2009.
Details and application forms are available from: www.britac.ac.uk/funding/guide/pdfells.html
Development Awards
A new call for applications has been issued for the British Academy Research Development Awards (BARDA) scheme. The purpose of these awards is to enable established scholars to develop a significant research project. Applications are particularly encouraged from scholars who can demonstrate that they are developing an innovative line of research, with the potential to make a significant difference to their field and to their career profile. Awards are tenable for up to three years, at up to £150,000 FEC.
The deadline for applications is 1 December 2008 for awards to be taken up on or after 1 July 2009.
Details and application forms are available from: http://www.britac.ac.uk/funding/guide/barda.html
Senior Research Fellowships
A new call has also been issued for the British Academy/Leverhulme Senior Research Fellowships. The purpose of these awards, offered on a non-FEC basis, is to provide a period of research leave for one year for established scholars during which they will be able to concentrate on bringing a major piece of research towards completion while their teaching and administrative duties are covered by a full-time replacement.
The Fellowships are tenable for one year beginning in the autumn of 2009. The deadline for applications is 14 November 2008.
