University of Cambridge CRASSH Visiting Fellowship

The University of Cambridge CRASSH Visiting Fellowship is a prestigious academic opportunity for researchers in the humanities and social sciences. Offered by the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH), this fellowship provides scholars with dedicated time and resources to advance their research projects within one of the world’s leading academic institutions. The fellowship typically lasts between one to three months and includes access to Cambridge University’s extensive libraries, research facilities, and academic networks. Successful applicants join a vibrant interdisciplinary community of scholars and participate in CRASSH’s research activities, seminars, and workshops. Eligibility requirements generally include holding a PhD or equivalent research experience, with preference given to mid-career and senior scholars whose research aligns with CRASSH’s thematic priorities. The fellowship offers financial support covering travel, accommodation, and living expenses during the residency period. Applications typically require a detailed research proposal, curriculum vitae, publication list, and letters of recommendation. The selection process is highly competitive, with emphasis on the quality and originality of the proposed research, its fit with CRASSH’s research environment, and the applicant’s academic track record. Visiting fellows are expected to contribute to the intellectual life of the centre through presentations, participation in events, and potential collaboration with Cambridge faculty and researchers. This fellowship represents an exceptional opportunity for scholars to develop their research in a stimulating academic environment while benefiting from Cambridge’s rich scholarly resources and interdisciplinary community.
