Visiting Fellowships in Human Rights

Applications are invited for Visiting Fellowships in Human Rights, hosted by the Human Rights Consortium at the School of Advanced Study, University of London. See the research interests of Associates and forthcoming events on human rights. 

Visiting Fellowships in Human Rights are granted for a period ranging from one to three months. Fellows are expected to help develop the activities of the Human Rights Consortium at the School by presenting at a conference or seminar or contributing to a publication, and to pursue their own research. Office space, access to computing and printing facilities and a library card are provided. 

As announced in June 2011, The Consortium is also launching a Refuge Law Initiative which will be the only academic centre in the UK to focus specifically on international refugee law. The RLI aims to function as a national focal point for leading and promoting the refugee law research agenda. It will work to create a network to engage the UK community of refugee law scholars and practitioners, stimulate collaboration between academics and non-academics, and achieve policy impact at the national and international level. It will be formally launched in October 2011 and applications to work with the RLI are accepted too.

An honorarium £2,000 is offered to one Visiting Fellow in Human Rights. The application deadline is 30 September 2011 and March 2012 for a visit in 2011-12. 

Non-stipendiary fellowships may also be offered, subject to space availability. Prospective applicants are encouraged to apply at least six months before their proposed visit.

Fellows are usually junior or senior researchers, though applications from those with relevant experience in Human Rights will be considered. Doctoral students are not normally eligible to apply for Visiting Fellowships.
