Visiting Fellows
Each year the IHSS and academic Schools within the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences host a number of Visiting Fellows (VF) for between one and four weeks. The aim of the scheme is to support international research by hosting leading scholar from outside the UK who are undertaking innovative interdisciplinary work. The Institute is particularly keen to attract Visiting Fellows from low and medium-income countries.
IHSS VF scholars interact with and enhance the intellectual community within the Faculty. Entry to the scheme is by nomination from Schools within the Faculty.
For details on the application process and the scheme's guidelines, go to the IHSS Visiting Fellowship Scheme page.
