IAS Fellowship


The IAS Fellowship programme for 2014-15 is now open for recruitment. 


At the core of IAS activities lies a funded fellowship programme. This allows the IAS to host academics, non-academics, policy makers and public figures from across the full spectrum of science, social science and arts and humanities disciplines to engage and collaborate at Durham. They are available to academics and non-academics alike (including for example academic professionals and researchers, artists, writers, journalists, policy makers, and politicians) throughout the UK and abroad. 

Research

Most fellows will contribute to the Institute’s annual theme, which is normally publicised a year in advance. An IAS fellowship provides the holder with the space and time to develop their research and ideas in a thriving academic community of scholars of national and international standing. Fellows will engage and forge strong links with at least one department at Durham, and be given the opportunity to deliver papers at events organised to coincide with the annual theme.

Duration

Fellowships are normally offered for a three-month period and the IAS supports up to 10 fellowships per semester. The first semester covers the period October to December, the second semester covers the period January to March. IAS Fellowships are not available during April-June or the Christmas and Summer vacations.
