Fowler Hamilton Visiting Research Fellowships (September 2027 - July 2028)

Applications for Fowler Hamilton Visiting Fellowship are invited from researchers currently living outside the UK, in the Humanities or the Social Sciences, in the period September 2027 - July 2028. Applicants may apply for a period of three, six and or ten months during this period.

The Fellowships are intended to enable distinguished senior scholars and creative artists to pursue their own research as members of the college, providing an opportunity for academics to benefit from an association, and engage in the academic and social life of Christ Church. Fellows are normally expected to give a talk on their research, or in some way to present their creative work, to members of Christ Church.

Applicants should hold a PhD/DPhil in any discipline in the Humanities or Social Sciences or demonstrate equivalent experience in creative research, and should be recognised as a leading authority or practitioner in their field, with an established international reputation and a substantial record of professional, research or creative achievements.

The tenure of each Fellowship is negotiable, but the following periods are suggested:

  • from 1 September 2027 for 10 months

  • from 1 September 2027 or 1 January 2028 for 6 months
