Bloomsbury Academic and Writers & Artists Postdoctoral Studentships

The Bloomsbury Academic and Writers & Artists Postdoctoral Studentships are prestigious awards designed to support early-career researchers in the humanities and social sciences. Offered collaboratively by Bloomsbury Academic and the Writers & Artists yearbook, these studentships provide recipients with a unique opportunity to develop their research projects while gaining insight into academic publishing. Each year, a limited number of awards are granted to outstanding postdoctoral scholars who demonstrate exceptional promise in their field. Recipients benefit from financial support, mentorship from experienced editors, and the chance to contribute to Bloomsbury’s renowned publications. The studentship is open to applicants worldwide, with a focus on innovative research that aligns with Bloomsbury’s publishing interests. Successful candidates receive a stipend to cover living expenses and research costs, as well as access to Bloomsbury’s extensive resources and networks. The application process is highly competitive, requiring a detailed research proposal, a curriculum vitae, and letters of recommendation. For the 2026 cycle, applicants must have completed their PhD within the last five years. This studentship offers a springboard for academic careers, providing not only funding but also valuable professional development. At Scholarship Union, we provide comprehensive information about this and other funding opportunities to help you achieve your academic goals.
