Description
The Visiting Fellowships offered by the Centre for Research in the Arts Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) at the University of Cambridge provide a unique opportunity for scholars from outside Cambridge to pursue independent research in the arts, humanities, or social sciences. Fellows join a vibrant interdisciplinary community, gain access to Cambridge’s extensive academic resources, and are encouraged to participate in seminars and events at CRASSH. The fellowships are self-funded and do not include academic supervision, but fellows are expected to actively engage with the CRASSH research community.
Fellowships may last from one term (2–3 months) to three terms (9 months), with the possibility of extending to 11 months if the start date coincides with the beginning of a Cambridge term. Summer Visitor arrangements are also available for shorter research stays during July–September, though academic activity is limited during this period.
