About the Program:

The British Academy offers Mid-Career Fellowships to support outstanding researchers in the humanities and social sciences. These fellowships aim to provide researchers with the opportunity to focus on completing major research projects and promote public engagement with their work. The primary goal of the Mid-Career Fellowships is to support individual researchers with excellent research proposals and promote public understanding and engagement with the humanities and social sciences.

Eligibility:

• Researchers at various career stages: including early-career, established, mid-career, and postdoctoral researchers

• Applicants must be employed at a UK-based university, Higher Education institution, or Independent Research Organisation.

• The Academy is particularly interested in supporting mid-career scholars who have already made significant contributions to their field.

Timeline:

Successful applicants will have the opportunity to dedicate six to 12 months to their research projects, free from their normal academic and administrative commitments.

Scope of the Award:

Applicants are encouraged to demonstrate how their research will contribute to advances in understanding within their field and engage a broad audience.

Funding:

The Mid-Career Fellowships are funded under the Full Economic Costing (FEC) framework, with the Academy contributing 80% of the total cost. The salary for Mid-Career Fellows is capped at £80,000, and the total award value is not expected to exceed £152,000. Fellowships can be held for a minimum of six months up to a maximum of twelve months.
