Fellowships are tenable for 3 years on a full time basis, with Leverhulme contributing 50% of each Fellow\u2019s total salary up to a maximum of \u00a326,000 per annum, with the host institution expected to support the remaining 50% of the salary. Leverhulme also contribute an additional \u00a36,000 per annum of research expenses if requested.<\/p>\n
