British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships Competition
Deadline: 17:00 BST on 18 August 2025
The Centre of Latin American Studies (CLAS), University of Cambridge, invites applications for hosting from applicants for British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowships, to be taken up from October 2026. Applications are welcome from Latin Americanists working in any eligible field supported by the British Academy. Successful applicants will be asked to make a modest contribution to teaching on the MPhil in Latin American Studies, within their chosen area of expertise. You will be expected to play a full part in the thriving research community based at CLAS, and to live in or near Cambridge during the week in term time, unless carrying out fieldwork. You will have access to world-class research facilities and a range of opportunities for training and career development. For information about the Centre of Latin American Studies, please see our website.
How to apply
Applications must be emailed to CLAS at admin@latin-american.cam.ac.uk, copying in the Centre Director, Pedro Mendes Loureiro PML47@cam.ac.uk, by 17:00 BST on 18 August 2025.
