Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowships 2026

The Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowships support researchers at the early stages of their academic careers to undertake a significant piece of publishable research. These fellowships are hosted at UK universities with degree-awarding powers and are designed to help fellows transition into permanent academic roles. This programme is aimed at researchers who already have a strong research track record but have not yet held a full-time permanent academic position.
