How to
Apply: We
have an annual call for applications. Applications need to be sent to the BIH
by a Birkbeck member of staff from one of our three funding schools (Arts, Law,
and SSHP). International researchers interested in applying for a fellowship
should, in the first instance, identify which members of staff they would like
to work with during their proposed fellowship and contact them to ascertain if
they are willing to act as a nominator for their application. Each application
requires at least one academic from Birkbeck to act as a nominator.
Once a nominator has
been agreed, applicants should complete the Visiting Research Fellowship
Application form electronically, in collaboration with the Birkbeck member
of staff, and send it along with a one page CV to the BIH Manager Madison
Brown by 21 May 2018.
Applicants will be
advised of the outcome within three weeks of the deadline.
Please fill in this
form electronically and return to Madison Brown (m.brown-at-bbk.ac.uk) by the
deadline of Monday 21 May 2018.
