The Communication and Media Resarch Institute (CAMRI, http://www.camri.ac.uk) and the University of Westminster are keen to consider eligible applications from outstanding international researchers not currently working in the United Kingdom, to bring their research experience to the UK and to advance our research goals through a Professorship with the University. The University of Westminster has a proud tradition of global collaboration. We are ranked in the top 30 in the world for ‘International Outlook’ (Times Higher Education Young University Ranking, 2017 and 2018), and are committed to engaging with world-class, internationally recognised scholars. The British Academy Global Professorships are four-year appointments expected to involve a specific research focus and represent a complete project. To apply, eligible applicants for this scheme must first submit an Expression of Interest to the University, available below, describing their research proposal and why they have selected the University of Westminster as their host institution. Successful candidates will be supported by Westminster through the British Academy application process. Applications will be considered on the basis of research excellence: the scholarly importance of the project; the feasibility of the proposed research programme, especially the proposed methodology and timescale; and the match with our own research goals and strategy. Successful candidates will need to demonstrate in their CV a clear research trajectory and international standing in their field. All applicants will need to identify a University of Westminster supporter prior to submitting their application. You should discuss your application with your supporter. We will not be able to consider an application submitted without a supporter. Before writing an application, we recommend that you check the British Academy Global Professorship Guidance Notes and FAQs, which you can download below, for guidance on how the British Academy reviews and evaluates Professorship applications. Please note: that guidance documents for 2018/19 have not yet been published, and the links provided are to information for a previous round. Applicants should check the British Academy site for this year’s guidance which will be published closer to the scheme launch date.
