Stipendiary Fellows in Latin American Studies
The purpose of this scheme is to provide support to early career scholars with relevant subject expertise to pursue innovative and interdisciplinary research on Latin America and the Caribbean in an environment tailored to such work, free from the competitive institutional constraints of other UK university institutions. The scheme enables the Fellows to engage a broad range of UK and international scholars in their research through the formation of networks and through collaboration in research projects, publications and dissemination events such as workshops and conferences.
This scheme is now open for applications for Stipendiary Fellowships commencing in academic year 2017-18. The deadline for applications is 11.59pm (UK time) on Sunday 21 May 2017. With regret, any application received after the deadline may not be considered. Applications should be submitted by email to ilas@sas.ac.uk.
