Call for two Migrant Futures Postdoctoral Fellowships, part of a major grant from the Oak Foundation to establish the Migrant Futures Institute at Goldsmiths.

Migrant Futures Postdoctoral Fellowships are central to the MFI’s vision to advance innovative research and training in the field of migration studies and foreground migrant intellectual lives, creative endeavours and roles in advocacy and social change.

They offer promising early-career researchers the opportunity to strengthen their experience of advanced research and practice, complete significant outputs, develop public engagement and impact and enhance their prospects for future careers within and beyond academia.

Two Postdoctoral Fellowships available

Two Postdoctoral Fellowships are available for entry in 2025-26. MFI Postdoctoral fellowships include salary (starting at Grade 7, SP32, currently £44,186 with London Weighting) together with an annual research support fund of £5000.

For the sake of clarity, the research fund must be used to support research activities, subject to approval and following college financial rules on expenses and procurement.

International applicants are advised that MFI postdoctoral fellowships may only be held on a full-time (FT) basis. Applicants who have the right to work in the UK may apply to take up the award on a part-time (PT) basis, pro-rata, over four years (PT).

The fellowship is expected to begin in October 2025, with some flexibility for a later start if needed.
