ESRC Postdoctoral Fellows

The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Postdoctoral Fellowship scheme is aimed at providing a career development opportunity for those in the immediately postdoctoral stage of their career, and at providing the opportunity to consolidate their PhD through developing publications, their networks, and their research and professional skills.

Through being embedded within a high-quality environment for research and training, fellows have the opportunity to undertake a varied programme of activities supporting their continued development for careers both within and outside of academia.

Our ESRC Postdoctoral Fellows

SGSSS ESRC Fellows come from a wide variety of academic disciplines and undertake developing their PhD research in various ways. Below are links to the profiles of current and past Postdoctoral Fellows who have shared their stories and advice to potential applicants & fellows– we hope you enjoy reading about their research and accomplishments.

If you are a current fellow or alumni and would like to update your profile, please email team@sgsss.ac.uk.
