Nineteenth-Century Matters Fellowship: University of Surrey 2019-20"},"content":{"rendered":"

\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nineteenth-Century Matters is an initiative jointly run by the British Association for Romantic\u00a0Studies and the British Association for Victorian Studies<\/a>. Now in its fourth year, it is aimed at\u00a0postdoctoral researchers who have completed their PhD, but are not currently employed in a full-time\u00a0academic post. Nineteenth-Century Matters offers unaffiliated early career researchers a\u00a0platform from which to organise professionalization workshops and research seminars on a theme\u00a0related to nineteenth-century studies, and relevant to the host institution\u2019s specialisms. The focus\u00a0should be on the nineteenth century, rather than on Romanticism or Victorianism.<\/p>\n

For the coming academic year Nineteenth-Century Matters will provide the successful applicant\u00a0with affiliation in the form of a Visiting Fellowship at the University of Surrey<\/a>. The fellowship will\u00a0run from 23 September 2019- 1 September 2020<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The successful fellow will particularly benefit from\u00a0and contribute towards the University\u2019s expertise in nineteenth-century literature, Neo-Victorian\u00a0literature, theatre, mobility studies, and the visual arts. They will also be encouraged to become\u00a0involved in the activities of the Victoriographies research group, a collection of researchers in the\u00a0School of Literature and Languages and curators at Watts Gallery<\/a> whose research focuses on the\u00a0nineteenth century. Fellows will also benefit from the University\u2019s close connections with Watts\u00a0Gallery, that houses an impressive collection of nineteenth-century paintings and sculptures\u00a0produced by the artist G.F. Watts and his wife, the designer and artist, Mary Watts.<\/p>\n

This fellowship includes a University of Surrey e-mail address, and access to its library and electronic\u00a0resources for the full academic year. There is no requirement to live in the Surrey area during this\u00a0time. The primary purpose of the fellowship is to enable the successful applicant to continue with\u00a0an affiliation and remain part of the academic community. It is a non-stipendiary post, and the fellow\u00a0will need to support themselves financially during the academic year. The fellowship will, however,\u00a0include up to three week\u2019s accommodation at the University over the summer, where the fellow will\u00a0be free to develop their research and make the most of Surrey\u2019s archives and special collections. The\u00a0fellow will also be financially supported by BAVS and BARS with the organising of a research and\u00a0professionalization event on a theme relevant to Surrey\u2019s collections and\/or research interests. It is\u00a0expected that the fellow will acknowledge BARS, BAVS, and the University of Surrey in any\u00a0publications that arise from their position.<\/p>\n

Application Process<\/strong><\/p>\n

Applicants should submit a CV with a two-page proposal of their research topic and event, and\u00a0explain why they would benefit from the fellowship. These should be sent to Briony Wickes\u00a0(briony.wickes@kcl.ac.uk<\/a>) and Paul Stephens (paul.stephens@lincoln.ox.ac.uk<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The deadline for\u00a0applications is Thursday August 22nd 2019 (23:59 GMT).<\/strong> Applicants will be notified of the\u00a0committee\u2019s decision by Thursday August 29th 2019.<\/p>\n
