AHRC, the Arts and Humanities Research Council, is excited to invite applications from across the arts and humanities communities, representing different career stages, sectors, and disciplines, to join their Advisory Board.

Supporting AHRC’s vision

As an expert support and advisory body, the Advisory Board’s pragmatic advice reflects both the arts and humanities research communities’ perspectives and the needs and challenges facing arts and humanities research, innovation and practice. It supports the development of strategic partnerships that facilitates the delivery of AHRC’s vision and balances the strategic needs of both our research community and AHRC’s position as a strategic funder.

As a member of AHRC’s Advisory Board, you will also be committed to championing the work of AHRC across the wider research community, building connections and being adaptable. You will value a diversity of opinion across board members and staff and challenge us to ensure the shape of our portfolio delivers maximum return on investment.

Key areas of advice

Over the past two years, AHRC have worked closely with their Advisory Board and benefited from their key contributions in several key areas of work, for example:

• in the development of our future doctoral provision
• in establishing and enacting our equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) action plan
• in the transformation of our responsive mode grants schemes

Closing date for applications: 12 September 2024

Please do reach out to AHRC directly, or get in touch with RDS if you would like to discuss the opportunity further.
