Description
The Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge hosts Visiting Fellows pursuing independent research in the arts, humanities and social sciences. Interdisciplinary work involving medicine, engineering or the natural sciences is also welcome. Fellows receive desk space, IT support, and full access to the University’s libraries and other collections, but CRASSH does not provide academic supervision.
The programme combines independent work with participation in an active research community. Fellows exchange ideas across disciplines, engage with research agendas and experts, and participate in CRASSH events and Research Practice seminars. Stays can cover one, two or three university terms, or an extended period of eleven months. A separate Summer Visitor option provides access to research resources when fewer events and academic interactions are available.
