British Academy is offering up to 45 postdoctoral fellowships to study in the UK. The UK or EEA nationals are eligible to apply for these fellowships.

The British Academy is the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences – the study of peoples, cultures, and societies, past, present and future.
