Description
The Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge offers Visiting Fellowships for independent research across the arts, humanities and social sciences. Interdisciplinary work involving medicine, engineering or the natural sciences is also welcome. Fellows receive a desk, IT support and full access to the University’s libraries and other collections, but no academic supervision.
The programme combines independent scholarship with participation in CRASSH’s research community. Fellows attend weekly Research Practice seminars during term, lead one session and are encouraged to participate in other events. Stays range from one term to three terms, with an 11-month option also available. Summer Visitors can access workspace and collections, although events and opportunities to interact with academic staff are more limited.
