Visiting Fellowships
Currently the Institute runs two types of fellowship -
Collaborative Fellowships are open to applicants from non-UK institutions. These fellowships have a defined application window are awarded with a stipend to cover accommodation and travel costs for a maximum of 3 months.
Non-stipendary Fellowships are open to applicants from the UK or overseas. These fellowships can be applied for all year round, usually for a maximum period of 6 months.
Collaborative Fellowships
The Collaborative Visiting Fellowship scheme for 2017-18 is open to applicants who hold an academic position in a non-UK institution for the purpose of supporting philosophical research in the UK.
Collaborative Visiting Fellowships come with a stipend of £1500/month, for up to 3 months to support travel and accomodation costs during the course of the fellowship. While a fellow in the IP, applicants would be expected to aid researchers in the development of a project in collaboration with philosophers based in London or the UK.
The call for Collaborative Visiting Fellows is currently open with a deadline of 5pm GMT on 30th July 2017. Interested parties should follow the instructions below to apply.
Non-stipendiary Fellowships
Non-stipendary Fellows are visitors to the Institute from the UK or overseas who spend a significant period of time at the Institute (usually between 3 and 6 months) on their own research. It is also possible for visitors to come for shorter periods, or ask for an extension after 6 months (after review).
Visiting Fellows are provided with office space, access to computing and printing facilities and library access. Fellows are expected to make a contribution to the Institute's programme of events during their stay. Fellows are usually members of other academic departments or postdoctoral researchers. Doctoral students interested in working in close collaboration with one of the Centres based at the IP can also apply.
The Institute is currently accepting applications for Non-Stipendary Fellows.
