SASS Funded/Self-funded Visiting Fellowship

In 2022, SASS launched a Funded Visiting Fellowship program, which sponsors one fellow per year, and a Self-Funded Visiting Fellowship program which runs all year long. The program aims to nurture and grow SASS international research networks by supporting scholars to spend up to three months at the School working on a collaborative project with one or more SASS researchers. The collaboration may be in the form of a joint publication, a grant proposal, or a major international event. Fellows will be expected to deliver a public lecture and a master class for graduate students.

Successful applicants are provided with an office space, and IT access. Additionally, funded visiting fellows will be provided with full up to 3 months accommodation, and a one-way return airfare.
