AHRC: New Generation Thinkers

BBC Radio 3 and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) are joining forces to find the next generation of public intellectuals.

They will benefit from a unique opportunity to develop their own programme for BBC Radio 3 and a chance to appear on air in special New Generation Thinkers debates and sessions.

Who’s Eligible?

To apply for the New Generation Thinkers scheme, you must be

A UK resident over 18 currently working or studying within one of the disciplinary domains of the AHRC.

You will be either:
a. undertaking an AHRC-funded postgraduate or postdoctoral award or working as a postgraduate or postdoctoral member of an AHRC-funded research project. Or
