Application process
The application is made through SGSAH’s online system which can be accessed here. The Guidelines include details of the information you will be required to complete online, as well as the assessment criteria for the scheme.
For this deadline, you must submit:
- A full research proposal; and details of how you will benefit from Cluster membership, cohort-building, training and development activities
- A budget and justification of resources
- A CV (up to 4pp)
- A letter of support from your PhD supervisor (up to 2pp)
- A letter of support from the proposed Host Institution (Head of Department or equivalent) (up to 2pp)
Late applications will only be considered where there is evidenced breakdown in SGSAH’s operational systems and where such system failures have made submission by the deadline impossible. Please note that SGSAH will not accept late applications where there has been a systems failure at the applicant’s end (e.g failure of internet connection). For this reason, we strongly advise applicants to complete the application process at least 48 hours in advance of the deadline.
Eligibility
The Programme is for PhD and early career researchers (ECRs) registered at or graduated from any non-UK university who are working within the environmental arts and humanities to come to Scotland to work with an academic mentor and access networks and resources of a host HEI (Higher Education Institute) in 2025.
All applicants must be currently registered for a PhD, or graduated with a PhD, which broadly falls under Arts & Humanities subject areas. These subject areas are detailed by the AHRC. Research proposals must also fall into Arts & Humanities subject areas. For any interdisciplinary PhDs, at least 50% of the project must fall within Arts & Humanities disciplines. The programme strongly encourages research project proposals that have interdisciplinarity approaches beyond the Arts & Humanities.
The 2025 programme will have a particular focus on interdisciplinarity across STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts, and Mathematics). There will be a thematic focus on Â
Women in STEAM, Inclusive Education, Green Energy and Gender Equality. This focus aligns with the British Council’s Overseas Development Assistance goals, Going Global Partnerships, and Climate Connections legacy programme, and SGSAH’s GREEN/GRADUATE Strategy, as well as two of SGSAH’s Strategic Themes and Priority Areas (STPAs); the Environmental Humanities and Creative Industries/ Economies, and the UN’s SDGs and the Scottish Government’s NPF Outcomes.Â
