[ANPPOM-Lista] Funding Call: Global Professorships (British Academy)

[Carlos Palombini]

Global Professorships

This programme aims to demonstrate and further enhance the UK’s commitment
to international research partnerships and collaboration as well as
strengthen the UK’s research capacity and capability in the humanities and
the social sciences. It provides mid-career to senior scholars — in any
discipline within the social sciences and the humanities and based in any
country overseas — with the opportunity to relocate for a period of four
years to the UK and make a contribution to UK research and higher education.

Each four-year appointment is intended to be a complete project in itself
and is expected to involve a specific research focus, although the British
Academy does not have a preferred model for the balance of time to be spent
between research and teaching (which may vary over the course of the award
and will depend on the UK host institution’s needs).

Aims

The aim of the programme is to enable world-class
internationally-recognised established scholars to further their individual
research goals while strengthening the UK research base and advancing the
research goals and strategies of their UK host institutions.

Eligibility requirements

Applicants must:

Be a world-class internationally-recognised mid-career to senior
researchers who are currently employed outside the United Kingdom, on a
permanent contract (which may be part-time or full-time) or, if temporary,
would normally be on a contract that will not end during the course of the
grant unless expressly agreed with the Academy prior to the application
being submitted that such an application would be considered eligible, in
any field of the humanities or the social sciences.

Hold a doctoral degree (or have equivalent research experience).

Be available to take up an unpaid leave of absence, a long-term secondment
or employment at an eligible UK host institution. Eligible institutions
include but are not limited to the British International Research
Institutes.

Awards are only available to individuals, to be held in an institutional
context. Co-applicants are not permitted.

Awards will not be made retrospectively: this means that the work for which
support is requested must not have commenced before the award is announced.

Awards must be taken up between 1 August 2019 - 1 February 2020.

For more details about the programme and eligibility requirements, please,
see the scheme notes.

Value and duration

Awards are for a period of 4 years.

The British Academy will provide funding of up to £187,500 per annum, and
up to £750,000 over four years.

The host UK institution will be expected to contribute £37,500 per annum
(20% of the Academy’s annual contribution) to help support the applicant’s
salary in each of the four years.

Application process

Applications must be submitted online using the British Academy’s grants
application system, Flexi-Grant.

Application, reference, supporting statement and UK host institution
