Applications are invited for Leverhulme Early Career Fellowships from suitably qualified researchers wishing to base their work in the Faculty of Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics.

Applicants must have submitted their doctoral thesis no more than four years before the closing date; so those who formally submitted their doctoral thesis for viva voce examination before 28 February 2015 are not eligible unless they have since had a career break.
