ISRF Early Career Research Fellowship (EC2)

Providing Research Support in Interdisciplinary Social Science_
The Independent Social Research Foundation (ISRF) is looking to support independent-minded researchers to do interdisciplinary work which is unlikely to be funded by existing funding bodies. It is interested in original research ideas which take new approaches, and suggest new solutions, to real world social problems.

The Foundation intends to make a small number of awards to support original interdisciplinary research, across the range of the social sciences, to be held from a start date no later than the end of December 2014. Scholars from within Europe are eligible to apply.  The award is intended to enable a scholar at the early career stage to pursue his/her research full-time, for a period of up to 12 months. The applicant should normally hold a salaried position at an institution of higher education and research, and be within 10 years of PhD award. Career breaks may be taken into account.
