Dr Zhiwu Wei, the Department of Land Economy’s Leverhulme Early Career Fellow and a member of the Lab of Interdisciplinary Spatial Analysis (LISA), was invited by the Cambridge Chinese Students and Scholars Association (CSSA) to give a talk on his successful application for the Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship. The event took place on 24th November 2024, at St John’s College, Cambridge, and attracted over 9,800 participants, attending either in person or online via Zoom and live streaming.
The Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship is a highly prestigious and intensely competitive individual fellowship awarded by the Leverhulme Trust. It offers funding of three years to early career researchers, supporting them to pursue independent and interdisciplinary academic projects. Zhiwu began his Leverhulme Fellowship, with matching funding from the Isaac Newton Trust, in September this year, following the completion of his PhD. His funded project is titled “Place and the geography of opportunities in the UK”.
