The next round of Leverhulme International Professorships is now open with a deadline of 27th May 2022.
The scheme is for universities seeking to recruit excellent research leaders of any nationality, currently working outside the UK, in order to fill strategically important positions in this country. Awards are for a period of five years.
It is expected that the university will offer:
- a permanent appointment to the professorial candidate and, where possible, to staff appointed on the grants
- an ongoing package of support after the end of the grant
Each UK university is permitted to make only one bid per round. A cross-divisional internal selection panel will be meeting to select the bid for Oxford at the end of March 2022.
How to apply
The deadline for the internal selection is 4pm on Tuesday 22nd March.
The following documents must be sent to emma.nagel-smith@admin.ox.ac.uk to be considered by the panel:
- A statement from the department about how the appointment meets strategic need, its significance more generally in the UK context and a summary of the particular qualities of the candidate who will fill the professorship (up to 5 pages).
- An indication of the budget in a simple table. No X5 is required at this stage. See Leverhulme’s application guidance for eligible costs.
- The candidate's current CV
- A statement from the candidate about how the appointment is important and interesting to them and how they expect the post will contribute to their career development and that of their team. Brief details of any key staff who will be involved and their planned contribution should also be included (up to 3 pages).
The page limits above are the limits that Leverhulme have set.
Outcome of the internal selection will be sent out to applications w/c 4th April.
