Description:

University of Sheffield Visiting Postdoctoral Application Bursaries for
British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme

The Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Sheffield has opened a
bursary scheme, with a deadline of 3rd June, for external applicants who would
like to apply through Sheffield for a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship
(BA PDF).

Successful applicants will be expected to commit to apply for a BA PDF through
Sheffield. They will stay in Sheffield for up to three nights, and spend their
time 1) discussing their proposed project with relevant academic colleagues
and staff in Research and Innovation Services; 2) redrafting their application
in response to comments received, and obtaining further feedback on the
revised application; and 3) engaging in any other activities
Departments/Schools feel would be beneficial.

Eligible expenses will be travel costs, accommodation and subsistence, to a
maximum of £700 for those coming from outside the UK, and £500 for those
within the UK. Payment will be for actual expenses only up to the maximum
permissible sum. It is envisaged that around five awards will be made. All
visits must be complete and expenses claimed by the Outline Stage Applicant
Deadline.

The aim of the BA PDF scheme is to offer opportunities for 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 primary emphasis is on completion of a significant piece of
publishable research, which will be assisted by full membership of an academic
community of established scholars working in similar fields.

We expect the BA PDF scheme to open in late August 2016 with a deadline in
early October. The British Academy uses a two-stage application process and
these bursaries are intended to support applications to the Outline Stage
only. As these are major applications, potential external candidates should
start planning their applications as early as possible and physically coming
to Sheffield will help facilitate this process. Applicants with the strongest
overall applications (track record, proposed project, fit with Sheffield),
will be awarded bursaries to visit Sheffield in September.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
