FYI.

If you are within 5 years of your PhD (or currently completing it and due to finish in the next 12 months), and currently not in the UK, there is a 2-year fellowship available to scholars in the social sciences and humanities. In addition to receiving a salary, you will be paid relocation costs and generous research expenses. The scheme is run by the British Academy and is intended to attract the best talent to the UK. For more information about the scheme, visit: https://www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/documents/6013/2026_Scheme_Guidance.pdf

I am a lecturer (Assistant Professor) in psychology at the University of Essex in the UK. I would be interested in supporting an application that aligns with my own research interests. This gives you a lot of scope across all aspects of weight stigma. Please contact me directly to discuss your interest by 10th February 2026: a.meadows@essex.ac.uk

Thank you,

Dr Angela Meadows
