Henry Moore Foundation Post-doctoral Research Fellowships 2015-16




The Henry Moore Foundation's Grants Programme supports a small number of two-year Post-doctoral Research Fellowships in the field of sculpture studies. Managed by the Henry Moore Institute, the Fellowships assist scholars who have recently completed doctoral studies to prepare a substantial publication or similar research output. The Foundation awards a grant of up to £21,000 per annum towards the fellowship.

Applicants must have an affiliation with a British university department, who will act as the host to the Fellow from January 2015. Fellows will be expected to present the development of their work quarterly to the Henry Moore Institute. Fellowships run for two years; however if the Fellow does not fulfil his/her obligations to the University in the first year, the second year's funding could, at The Foundation's discretion, be revoked.

Applications marked 'Post-doctoral Research Fellowship Grants' should be sent by 20 October 2014 to:

Kirstie Gregory (Research Programme Assistant): kirstie@henry-moore.org 

Henry Moore Institute, 74 The Headrow, Leeds LS1 3AH

Information Sheet for Applicants

Applications should consist of: 
Curriculum vitae 
References from applicant's doctoral supervisor and one other academic referee, preferably an examiner 
Discursive outline of publication / other research output plans, with expected timetable 
Description from the host university of the resources, financial and other, to be made available to the candidate 
Details from the host university of arrangements for teaching, if any, which the candidate may be expected to undertake 

Information for Universities

The host department must be asked to provide the following information, to be included with the candidate's application: 
The department must confirm that the candidate will be accepted as a Post-doctoral Research Fellow if the award is made, indicating a named academic contact

The Fellowships are worth up to £21,000 per year, to be paid as a Grant direct to the Fellow. In the normal course of events the Foundation will expect the host department to make a part-contribution. Departments should make clear to the Foundation the contribution they intend to make 
The department should describe what resources would be made available to the candidate in order to support their research (for example computer facilities, travel grants, conference support etc.)

Open Call for Artists (Winter 2025-26) Last Ship Art Residency @Khajuraho

  Artist in residence: The artist studios of Last Ship are situated opposite the UNESCO World Heritage temples of Khajuraho. The Viswanath temple built in 999 AD is right in front, less than 20 meters from Last Ship. Little known prehistoric and ancient historic sites in this region tell parts of a story more than 10,000 years old, of the Mughals, the Chandelas, going back to the Guptas, the Kushans, the Shungas and the Indo-Greeks all the way to prehistoric cave-dwellers, revealing secrets of the birth of the philosophies of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism and their common Tantric spiritual traditions. The artists of the residency are invited to have their own experience of this heritage, like the sadhus, aghoris, and mystics who make solitary pilgrimages through this region, called the most powerful tantric region in the world, in search of enlightenment. The Last Ship residency program is a one-of-a-kind experience of a history, nature and culture, hidden in the chaos and turmoil...
