The British Academy is inviting applications for its Visiting Fellowships programme, which offers academics at any career stage and in any discipline within the humanities and social sciences the opportunity to work at a UK higher education or research institution.

The fellowships last between three to six months. Applicants must specify their preferred start date for the fellowship within the spring and summer (March-August 2025) when submitting their application. The fellowship provides a maximum funding of 40,000 pounds (approximately Rs 44 lakh).

Eligibility Criteria

To apply for a Visiting Fellowship, candidates must be at the postdoctoral level or have equivalent research experience at the time of application.

Applicants must be based outside the UK when they apply. They may be employed under permanent or fixed-term contracts, with the latter extending beyond the fellowship's end date. Independent researchers are also eligible to apply.
