British Academy Visiting Fellowships 2006-07

British Academy Visiting Fellowships promote international scholarship in the humanities and social sciences by enabling outstanding early-career scholars from overseas to undertake short periods of research in British institutions.

Although any early-career applicant from outside the UK may apply under this scheme, it is the Academy's intention to give priority to candidates from countries where financial resources to support visits to the UK are not readily available. Part of the funding is specifically allocated for candidates from Africa, and part for candidates from Latin America and the Caribbean.

The scheme is open to application by any scholar from outside the UK who has obtained a PhD within the last 5 years, or who is of equivalent status.

Application must be made in tandem with a UK-based academic sponsor whose home institution is willing to host the visit (UK institutions can apply to the Academy for the full economic cost of hosting the visiting scholar)

Fellows will be reimbursed for international travel and will receive a modest maintenance allowance. Guideline figures are ?1,500 per month (?1,700 in London). Fellowships may be undertaken for two to four months.

The closing date for applications is 15 December 2005, for visits to take place after 1 April 2006. Results of the competition will be announced in mid March.


Application forms and notes of guidance (for both candidates and host institutions) are available from the Academy's website: www.britac.ac.uk/funding/guide/intl/visprof.html
