For prospective academic visitors
The Department welcomes applications from scholars who wish to spend up to one year in the Department as Academic Visitors. The Department assumes that visitors are in York to pursue independent research and does not provide or arrange academic supervision.
Please note that we receive many requests for visiting scholar status each year, and can only accept a few. We expect that visiting scholars will become a part of our academic environment and will therefore be informed by and also contribute to our research activities here in York. Part of the application process includes a short research proposal which will be evaluated by our visiting scholars' committee.
Potential visiting scholars should familiarise themselves with the information in the guidance document.
