The AHRC is now inviting applications for an AHRC Commons Fellow to lead the strategic direction and development of the AHRC Commons. The Fellowship will run for three years and funding of up to £500k (on an fEC basis at 80%) is available for this time period. The Fellowship will fund between 40-60% of the Fellow’s time. The AHRC Strategy 2013-18 sets out the aims of the AHRC Commons as follows:
‘The AHRC Commons will be aimed at gathering together arts and humanities researchers alongside cognate bodies and international peers to develop joint initiatives, connect dispersed undertakings, provide for a discussion and build a shared case for the importance of arts and humanities research to national and international life.’
The remit of the AHRC Commons is broad and an overview is outlined in full in the Strategy (http://www.ahrc.ac.uk/News-and-Events/News/Documents/AHRC-Strategy-2013-18.pdf).
The AHRC Commons Fellow will be able to demonstrate strategic leadership and have the ability to manage complex projects. The position will commence in the summer of 2014. Further information about this call is available in the call guidance document (http://www.ahrc.ac.uk/Funding-Opportunities/Documents/AHRC-Commons-Fellow-Call.pdf).
The closing date for applications is 10/03/2014. Interviews will take place in London on Monday 7 April.
