The Parliamentary Academic Fellowship Scheme is open to university-based researchers and staff working in knowledge exchange. The scheme gives people in those roles the opportunity to participate in a fellowship project with an office in Parliament.
Hosted by the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology, the 'Parliamentary Academic Fellow: global landscape analysis of organisations around the world providing science advice to parliaments' seeks to conduct a study of different organisations and mechanisms around the world that provide science advice to parliaments. The aim of the project is to learn about how others provide science advice to parliaments globally, and how other parliaments engage with scientific information. Through this project, POST would also like to strengthen its connections with those organisations, to be able to conduct two-way knowledge exchange.
More information can be found here. The deadline for applications is Sunday May 9th 2021.
Note: funding for this fellowship may be available through either the University's EPSRC or ESRC Impact Accelerator Awards (IAA). See https://www.york.ac.uk/staff/research/internal-funding/ for more information.
If you're in the area of Social Sciences, you can contact Chris Hewson (Faculty Research Impact Manager - Social Sciences) and the ESRC IAA team for more information (esrc-iaa@york.ac.uk).
The British Academy will be holding a webinar on Wednesday 31 March (09.30-11.00) for UK-based applicants in the humanities and social sciences interested in applying for the 2021 ERC Consolidator Grant call, which has a deadline on 20 April.
The webinar will be led by British Academy Fellows who have experience with ERC grants and panels.
The aim of the webinar is to provide participants with detailed, practical information about the ERC Consolidator Grant scheme. Participants should gain a deeper understanding of the proposal and evaluation format and the key issues they are required to address in planning, writing and costing a proposal.
In order to participate and for the webinar to be structured as effectively as possible for you, we ask that you submit in advance either an outline of your proposal or, if you have it, a draft of the 'extended synopsis (B1). Please contact Emily Zerling (e.zerling@thebritishacademy.ac.uk) by Wednesday 24 March (end of closing) to register.
