## Overview The University of Edinburgh Heritage Collections Research Fellowships offer an exceptional opportunity for postdoctoral scholars to immerse themselves in the rich and diverse Heritage Collections of one of the world's leading universities. Hosted by the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH), this fellowship is designed to support innovative, collections-based research across the Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences. Fellows will gain unparalleled access to a wealth of resources, including archives, manuscripts, rare books, art, musical instruments, and other culturally significant materials spanning four centuries, fostering a vibrant intellectual environment and contributing to global knowledge. ## Benefits This fully funded fellowship provides comprehensive support to ensure researchers can focus entirely on their work. Successful applicants will receive: * A generous £2,000 monthly bursary. * Up to £500 to cover international travel expenses, if required. * A funded research residency lasting between 3 to 6 months. * Dedicated office space within the IASH, fostering a collegial and productive atmosphere. * Full access to the University's extensive library resources and email services. * Privileged, hands-on access to the renowned Heritage Collections and the cutting-edge Digital Scholarship Centre. * An assigned academic mentor from the Centre for Research Collections (CRC) or a relevant academic School to provide guidance and support. * Opportunities for weekly Fellows’ lunches, engaging seminars, and invaluable networking events with peers and senior academics. ## Eligibility To be considered for this prestigious fellowship, applicants must meet the following criteria: * Hold a PhD, normally awarded within the last five years.
