Overview

WISERD is pleased to announce a new call for applications to its Civil Society Fellowship scheme (Fellowship 3 – see below), aimed at providing a career development opportunity for those in the immediately postdoctoral stage of their career, to provide the opportunity to consolidate their PhD through developing publications, their networks, and their research and professional skills.

These new fellowship opportunities are designed to support those who have been awarded their PhD within the last 12 months or are in the process of submitting their thesis with a fellowship being conditional on their being awarded a thesis, to support them in consolidating their PhD and to prepare them for the next stage of their research careers either within or beyond academia. Through being embedded within a dynamic centre for research, engagement and training, fellows will have the opportunity to undertake a varied programme of activities supporting their continued development.
