The Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science (LCDS), Oxford Population Health, invites expressions of interest from outstanding early-career researchers who wish to apply for the Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowships 2026.
The Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellowships provide career development opportunities for talented researchers who have not yet held a full-time permanent academic post. Fellows are expected to undertake a significant piece of independent research, supported by the host institution.
Expressions of interest can be submitted via this form or by clicking on the link below. The submission deadline for the EOI is 15 December 2025.
We would aim to communicate all decisions by 10 January 2026.
Please note: For applications submitted via LCDS, matched funding for this scheme will be provided by the Nuffield Department of Population Health. Following an internal selection process, the department will support only a limited number of exceptional candidates in submitting their applications to the Leverhulme Trust. All selections will be made through a competitive internal process where the outcome of this process is final, and individual feedback may not be provided.
