Apply to be a Birmingham Fellow

How to apply for a Birmingham Fellowship

The first round has now closed to new applications. The University of Birmingham is continuing its investment in Birmingham Fellowships. Dates of the second round will be published shortly. If you are "fast-track" with significant external funding (see below and our FAQs), please be in touch with us at birminghamfellows@contacts.bham.ac.uk.  

  • If you would bring external funding with you to the University of Birmingham (e.g., funded fellowships, etc.), you are strongly encouraged to make yourself known to us at birminghamfellows@contacts.bham.ac.uk and to contact either the named contact in the relevant priority area (see left-hand menu) or to identify a relevant academic lead within your field of study prior to submission.  We can help you with the latter if you require assistance - email us at the above address. This will enable us to confirm whether we are a good academic match for you and to consider whether your application meets our fast-track criteria. We will still ask you to complete the application form (it has a question about external funding), but instead of attaching a research summary and resume CV, please attach relevant documentation outlining the focus and parameters of your fellowship or other funding, and a full CV. The documentation should include your successful research proposal. 
  • We are also maintaining a general Frequently Asked Questions page. Please contact us at birminghamfellows@contacts.bham.ac.uk if you have any further questions about the Birmingham Fellowships, the process, or any other information that you cannot find on our website. Due to the expected volume of enquiries, we would prefer to handle queries by email or post. However, if you feel that you need to speak with us directly, please request a call-back in your email message and our team will be in touch as soon as possible.
