Visiting Research Fellowships

What are Visiting Research Fellowships?

We encourage 'Visiting' appointments by researchers and scholars who will contribute to the intellectual life of the Centre. Normally, 'Visiting' status is offered to members of faculty at another institution, either at the UK or abroad, those working in the public or private sectors, and/or self-employed research consultants. The purpose of conferring a Visiting appointment is to provide an opportunity for researchers outside Sussex to collaborate with Sussex faculty on a research project or initiative, normally through spending a period of time in residence at the University.

Who can propose Visiting Fellows?

Anyone can apply. However before completing an application, you should familiarise yourself with the work of the centre. 

You might also make direct contact with a member of faculty with whom you hope to collaborate during the fellowship. Decisions on appointment will be based on the following criteria:

• The quality of the proposed project or activity
• The fit between the applicants' interests, and those of CLHLWR
• The appropriateness of the proposed outputs

Visiting Fellows may be sponsored by a member of faculty in CLHLWR, who should agree to act as their mentor for the period of their visit.

Finance/Funding

If visitors are to use university facilities then a bench fee of £1200 per term or £400 per month is applied, to cover costs of administration, office space, access to telephone, fax, computing, library and sporting facilities. Appointments can be made for periods of 1 month to 3 years, and must be approved by the Centre Directors and the Head of the Centre for Community Engagement where the CLHLWR is located.

CLHLWR has no funds to help support a Visiting Fellow. Applications can only be considered from those who already have (or expect to have) adequate financial support.

Accommodation

It is sometimes possible to book accommodation on campus. The University Housing Office has also negotiated a discount at selected hotels in the local area. Please seewww.sussex.ac.uk/residentialservices/1-2-7.html and www.sussex.ac.uk/aboutus/findus/wheretostay
