College Fellowships


A number of Durham colleges offer their own Visiting College Fellowships (listed below on the left), most of which are offered for one term only with the College providing free board and lodging but no stipend. Travel expenses are not paid.

This scheme is separate from the IAS Fellowship scheme and makes it possible for a small number of visiting scholars to spend usually one term in Durham during the course of the academic year. Fellowships are not available during the summer and are generally restricted to the academic terms. In the majority of cases it is only possible for the college to accommodate the Visiting Fellow, although it may be possible in certain circumstances to accommodate a partner/spouse. The availability of Visiting College Fellowships remains at the discretion of the college and Fellowship vacancies may be subject to change at short notice. Those scholars holding a Visiting College Fellowship are entitled to apply to become an IAS Affiliate.

For details on the application process for a Visiting College Fellowship, or to discuss becoming an IAS Affiliate, please contact Linda Crowe. To apply for a Visiting College Fellowship please complete the application form below.

“The generosity and welcome from St Mary’s College has afforded another source of stimulus and a way of getting to know Durham University in a larger sense. I have not only felt extremely well looked after but enjoyed the multi-disciplinary mix of the Senior Common Room. ”

Professor Dame Marilyn Strathern FBA, University of Cambridge, IAS Fellow 2008-09 (St. Mary's College)

“The nine weeks I spent in Durham were among the most productive and at the same time most pleasant I have spent in years”
