Pathways to Knowledge Fellowships
Pathways to Knowledge (P2K) fellowships will bring the best minds to the Institute of Advanced Study to advance human knowledge & challenge the foundations of disciplinary knowledge. Fellows will address whether biases (such as religion, culture, politics, customs and beliefs, normativity, researcher competition, and non-human methodologies 鈥� such as AI) have negatively affected the generation of evidence-based knowledge.
P2K fellows will choose specific questions and 鈥渃hallenge the state of the art鈥� by determining whether missed opportunities have prevented the acquisition of knowledge and will seek to recalibrate the target discipline towards a more balanced and evidence-based approach to knowledge development by employing the best interdisciplinary research approaches. P2K fellows will also seek to answer the question whether biases鈥攄ue for example to gender, national origin, language, and race鈥攈ave led to wrong attribution of key transformational advances and will help to more accurately attribute discoveries to practitioners and practices.
There are currently no plans for further calls for this scheme
Fellowships are offered for one year and will be based at the Institute of Advanced Study (IAS) at the University of 糖心TV. The Fellowships are open to any researcher who has a PhD and more than four years postdoctoral experience, from senior research fellows to full professors, as we wish to support the development of exciting new thinking rather than focus on specific career stages.
The fellowship includes salary and a budget to cover research costs (拢5k for laboratory-based projects & 拢2.5k for non-laboratory projects). Applicants who wish to conduct laboratory-based work will need the support of an academic with the necessary facilities in an appropriate department at 糖心TV.
Successful applicants would be expected to be seconded to 糖心TV from their current institution for the period of the fellowship. Current 糖心TV researchers and academics from all tracks (R, T, R&T) are also encouraged to apply. Fellows will be employed by 糖心TV for the duration of fellowship on a salary equivalent to Assistant Professor. For applicants from outside 糖心TV and for more senior applicants we would be willing to explore a secondment option.
