Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowships at the Management School

Published on

The Management School invites expressions of interest for the 2018 Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowship scheme.

These awards offer opportunities for outstanding early career researchers to strengthen their experience of research and teaching in a university environment – further information, including eligibility criteria, can be found on the Leverhulme Trust website.

The Management School’s 150 international experts produce world-leading academic contributions and make a positive impact on a wide range of organisations and institutions. Investment in a first-class research environment and a flourishing cohort of PhD researchers coupled with a refreshingly interdisciplinary focus put the Management School at the forefront of academic research, making a difference to many local, national and international partners.

The University of Liverpool is one of the United Kingdom’s leading research institutions with an annual turnover of £400 million, including £140 million for research. Liverpool is ranked in the top 1% of universities worldwide and is a member of the prestigious Russell Group, comprising the leading research universities in the United Kingdom. 

In November 2012 the School achieved AACSB Accreditation. Only five per cent of business schools worldwide have been awarded the accreditation. AACSB Accreditation Standards require a high quality teaching environment, a commitment to continuous improvement, and curricula responsive to the needs of businesses. This achievement means that not only has the School met specific standards of excellence, but has also made a commitment to on-going improvement to ensure that the institution will continue to deliver high quality education to its students.

The work of the School covers teaching and research in a wide range of subjects that include:

  • History and Institutions
  • Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management
  • Leadership, People and Management
  • Operations and Supply Chain Management
  • Marketing and Experiential Consumption
  • Corporate Finance, Financial Markets and Risk
  • Societal and Economic Development
  • International Business
  • Econometrics (Theory and Applied), Micro and Macro Economic Theory

We also play an active role working with companies, public and third sector organisations and policymakers, providing strong links with practice.

Those interested in applying for a Fellowship at the University of Liverpool are invited to submit expressions of interest to the Research Support Team (ulmsfund@liverpool.ac.uk) by 5pm on Wednesday 10th January 2018, consisting of the following:

  • CV
  • a PDF, downloaded from the Leverhulme Trust application system, of the draft application

Applicants to be supported by the School will be informed by 10th February. It is anticipated that a workshop for shortlisted applicants will be held in Liverpool on Thursday 1st February 2018.
