TORCH: Humanities Knowledge Exchange Fellowship

Funder Deadline: Wednesday 26 June 2019

Surgeries: For those who want advice on how to structure their application Dr Andrew Fairweather-Tall, Dr Victoria McGuinness, and Professor Wes Williams will be offering bookable 20 minutes slots. To enquire about dates and to book a slot please email kesupport@humanities.ox.ac.uk

The range of possible knowledge exchange activities and partners is deliberately broad; it is up to the applicant to make the case that what is proposed enhances their research, benefits the external partner(s), and has the potential to continue after the end of the Fellowship. 

Up to £10k is available to support each fellow. This may include buyout of up to one-term of either teaching taken as one-term or pro rata across the year 2019- 31 July 2020, and/or hourly paid research or teaching assistance, and/or similar justified project expenses up to total of £10k. An early-career option is also available for those who submitted their thesis no more than five years prior to the start of the KE Fellowship. The early-career fellowship will award a one-day a week staff contract at grade 7.1 (pro rata) plus £2000 project expenses. 

As this is an additional round, award holders may choose to take up their 12 month fellowship any time from the 05 July 2019 provided that all funds are spent by 31 July 2020.
