Please note the following, as further clarification of the eligibility criteria for the Science and Heritage Post-doctoral Fellowships call:
Potential candidates should have up to but no more than five years postdoctoral research experience. This period is calculated from passing the PhD viva to the proposed start date of the Fellowship.
Where this period is greater than five years (for example, if the candidate has not had continuous post-doctoral experience due to a career break or periods of other non-research work) this should be explained fully in the Case for Support.
The AHRC work with the RCUK Shared Services Centre (SSC) to deliver all of our funding activities. All queries regarding eligibility for funding and applications in progress and also queries regarding current awards, should be directed to the SSC team dealing with your subject area using the contacts page.
