OWRI Fellowships in Languages and Communities

Applications are invited from postdoctoral scholars wishing to undertake a period of research based at the Institute of Modern Languages Research, in the area of languages and communities (past or present). Preference will be given to Western European languages (mainstream or minority) in their global contexts, translation and/or translingual practices.

An award of £3,000 for three months is available, or pro rata for a shorter period of time, extendable to one year without further funding. The award is a contribution to temporary living expenses in London. The Fellowship is open to applicants from the UK or overseas. Normally one Fellowship will be awarded each year, up to and including 2019-20.

The research will feed into the OWRI (Open World Research Initiative) AHRC-funded interdisciplinary project ‘Cross-Language Dynamics: Reshaping Community’ hosted at the Institute of Modern Languages Research.
