The ESRC Postdoctoral fellowship was a great opportunity to work more closely with my PhD examiners and turn my research into publications. The Anthropology Department at Durham is large and staff are very supportive, so there was also a huge breadth of expertise to draw upon.
This scheme is to support recent PhD graduates in consolidating their doctoral research and advancing their careers. This scheme offers a unique opportunity for early-career researchers to build on their achievements through publications, network development, and a range of development-oriented activities.
Full guidance is available here: Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme - NINE DTP
The aim of the scheme is to develop the next wave of world-class research and innovation leaders in academia and business.
You can apply for funding over four years both to tackle ambitious and challenging research and innovation and to develop your career. Funding can be extended for up to a further three years to support long-term focus on a particular area of research or innovation and continued career development.
