Description
The Visiting Fellowships at the Centre for Research in the Arts Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH), University of Cambridge, offer scholars from outside Cambridge the opportunity to conduct independent research in the arts, humanities, or social sciences. The program encourages interdisciplinary engagement, welcoming projects that connect with medicine, engineering, or the natural sciences. Fellows join a vibrant intellectual community, receive workspace and IT support, and gain full access to Cambridge’s libraries and resources. Fellows are expected to actively participate in CRASSH’s academic life, including research seminars and events.
Fellowships can be held for one term (2–3 months), two terms (5–6 months), three terms (9 months), or up to 11 months if aligned with the academic calendar. A separate Summer Visitor option is available for shorter stays during July–September.
