Visiting Scholar programme

This programme is intended for visiting scholars with a clearly defined research agenda, who wish to spend a minimum of one month (maximum twelve months) in Oxford. Visitors will have the opportunity to be involved in some of the activities within the institute and are encouraged to contribute to the College’s research environment. Amongst the benefits, the visitor will be entitled to make use of the University’s research facilities and libraries, in addition to attending seminars, lectures and other academic gatherings ordinarily closed to the general public.

We invite various categories of applications - Professors, Research Fellows and Post-Docs - as well as interested candidates from public sectors and the corporate world. Depending on the type of projects proposed, there are two categories of visitors, Visiting Scholars and Senior Visiting Scholars. Senior Visiting Scholars are for those senior academics who wish to spend a period of independent self-directed research, and Visiting Scholars are more suitable for early career researchers who would like work on his research project with the support of specifically assigned academic mentor at Oxford.
