About ERC London.
European Research College London is a vibrant academic centre dedicated to high-quality research in two principal areas:
- economics and business studies, and
- psychological sciences and educational research.
We welcome scholars who are intellectually curious, internationally minded, and committed to making a meaningful contribution to their field.
ERC London offers researchers a high degree of academic freedom within these clearly defined thematic areas. We value independent thinking and originality, and we encourage researchers to shape their own agendas while contributing to broader collaborative efforts across our decentralised international network.
We actively seek early-career researchers from both the UK and abroad. Successful candidates may be offered a full-time research contract, enabling them to focus exclusively on their scholarly work. Personal mentoring from senior researchers is available to those who would benefit from additional academic guidance and professional support.
At ERC London, we are proud to foster a welcoming, inclusive and collegial research culture — one in which researchers at all stages feel respected, supported, and inspired to do their best work. We believe that a positive environment is essential for creativity, collaboration, and long-term impact.
Researchers based at ERC London also benefit from:
- Opportunities to present and develop their work through regular workshops and seminars
- Institutional support for attending major international conferences and academic events
- A flexible, research-led environment with minimal administrative burden
- Access to an engaged, international research community
Whether you are just beginning your academic career or seeking a dynamic new setting to pursue your research, ERC London offers not only the resources and academic freedom you need — but also a research home where you can thrive.
We warmly invite expressions of interest from researchers who are passionate about advancing knowledge in our focus areas, and who value a collaborative and human-centred academic environment.
