Postdoctoral Fellowship opportunities 

The Third Sector Research Centre can support applications for postdoctoral fellowships to be hosted by the Centre and based at the University of Birmingham or Southampton.

A number of fellowship schemes exist to fund postdoctoral researchers who wish to develop their academic career. These schemes allow candidates to develop their research and teaching experience within a university environment. Some examples of fellowships offered are listed below. If you wish to apply for one of these fellowships based on relevant third sector research, then TSRC may be able to support your application.

TSRC can offer support to a limited number of candidates. Potential applications will be considered based on their academic merit and correlation to the Centre’s work and priorities. (See our research pages for information about the work we are conducting)

If you are interested in these opportunities please contact Rebecca Berridge at the University of Birmingham: r.berridge@tsrc.ac.uk / (0) 121 414 3086, or Nicki Elvins at the University of Southampton N.A.Elvins@soton.ac.uk/ 02380 596674. Initially you will need to provide a short CV and summary of your proposed research.
