[Academic] Leverhulme ECR Fellowship

[Shirley Wylie]

Dear all,
Can I please ask that potential candidates for the current Leverhulme ECR Fellowship round (details below) notify Paul McKenna and me of your intention to submit by Friday 4th January 2019? There will not be a triage at Departmental level, but we are keen to ensure that you have adequate support & feedback given on your case and you have guidance available for preparation and submission of pFact costings etc.

Thanks,

Gail
