Registration for Janaury 2023 webinars open now. See below.
What is it
The International Placement Scheme (IPS) provides early career researchers, and AHRC-funded and ESRC-funded doctoral students, with inclusive and dedicated access to the internationally renowned collections, programmes and expertise held at IPS host institutions.
The scheme aims to enhance the depth, range, diversity and quality of research activities conducted by scholars, including research exploring under-represented and under-researched cultures and histories.
IPS provides unique opportunities for networking with other international scholars based at these world-renowned institutions and can have a transformational impact on personal development and career progression.
You will receive £1,000 for travel and visa costs and £1,925 for each month of the fellowship, in addition to your monthly M4C stipend.
Fellowships last between 2 and 6 months.
The IPS host institutions for this round are:
How to Apply
Your fellowship must be based on your area of current research (including your doctoral research if you are a PhD student). The proposed research activities and outputs from your fellowship should complement, strengthen, or build on your current area of research. You will need to propose a distinct package of research in your application and explain how this project relates to both your current research and the collections and expertise of your prospective host institution.
Applications opened on the 22nd November 2022 and close on the 23rd February 2023 at 16:00. Please note that your institution may have their own internal proccess and deadlines so please check with them.
