Henry Moore Foundation Post-doctoral Research Fellowships
The Henry Moore Foundation supports a small number of two-year post-doctoral research fellowships in the field of sculpture studies at a British university from the autumn of 2012. Managed by the Henry Moore Institute, these Fellowships assist scholars who have recently completed doctoral studies to prepare a substantial publication or similar research output. The Foundation will award a grant of up to £21,000 per annum towards the fellowship.
Applicants must have an affiliation with a university department who will act as the host to the Fellow. Fellows will be expected to present the development of their work every six months to the Henry Moore Institute, a centre for the study of sculpture based in Leeds. The 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 11 June 2012 to:
Kirstie Gregory (Research Programme Assistant), Henry Moore Institute, 74 The Headrow, Leeds LS1 3AH

Information for Universities
The Henry Moore Foundation supports a small number of two-year post-doctoral research
fellowships in the field of sculpture studies at a British university from the autumn of
2012. Managed by the Henry Moore Institute, these Fellowships assist scholars who have
recently completed doctorial studies to prepare a substantial publication or similar research
output.
The fellowships are open to scholars who have recently been awarded a PhD and who
want to work on any aspect of the study of sculpture in a British university. Scholars will
be expected to be working towards a substantial publication and must have the agreement
of the proposed host department. The fellowships will be tenable for two years. University
departments should note that the deadline for applications is 11 June 2012. Departments
will be asked to provide the following information on the candidate by this date:
1. Confirmation
The department must confirm that the candidate will be accepted as a post-doctoral
research fellow if the award is made.
2. Support for research
The Foundation welcomes evidence that the department would be a particularly
conducive place for the fellow to pursue the research project (for example details
concerning the supervisor, research interests within the department, libraries, archives
etc.)
3. Part-funding of the award
The fellowships are worth up to £21,000 p.a. In the normal course of events the
Foundation will expect the host department to make a part-contribution towards the total
sum. Departments should make clear to the Foundation the contribution they intend to
make.
4. Resources and grants
The department should describe what resources will be made available to the candidate in
order to support their research (for example computer facilities, travel grants, conference
support etc.)
5. Teaching
The department should indicate how much (if any) teaching will be expected of the
fellow, the nature of the teaching, and whether the fellow will be paid for the teaching.
