British Academy’s Visiting Fellowships

 

The British Academy’s Visiting Fellowships programme provides outstanding
academics based in any country overseas with the opportunity to be based at
a UK higher education or other research institution. The programme is open
to academics at any career stage, and in any discipline within the
humanities and social sciences.

 

Aims

Visiting Fellowships illustrate the British Academy’s profound and on-going
commitment to international engagement. The aim of this programme is to
ensure that the UK remains an attractive, welcoming, and productive research
environment for academics globally. Through this programme, the Academy aims
to:

*	enhance and build new links between scholars from around the globe
and in the UK;
*	foster opportunities and encourage the development of new and future
partnerships for collaborative research into the humanities and social
sciences;
*	enable academics from across the globe to undertake research and/or
professional development with UK colleagues;
*	strengthen the UK’s research bases in the humanities and the social
sciences.
*	 

Eligibility requirements

Visiting Fellows must be of postdoctoral level or above, or have equivalent
research experience at the time of application. Candidates should be based
outside of the UK at the time of application. Applicants may be on permanent
or fixed-term contracts. Fixed-term contracts must not end before the end
date of the Visiting Fellowship. Independent scholars are also welcome to
apply.

Applicants must demonstrate that they have been in contact with their UK
host institution prior to applying. Please note that the British Academy is
not able to assist with locating of facilitating contact with a UK host
institution.

The British Academy welcomes applications from a diverse range of UK host
institutions, and would particularly encourage applications from
historically and / or structurally disadvantaged groups, low-income
countries, and female researchers.
