Visiting Researchers

Heythrop College welcomes visiting researchers. We normally have around 10 visiting researchers attached to the College at any one time, making the College an exciting and vibrant place at which to spend time conducting research. Please click on the links to be taken to the Terms and Conditions/Application Forms for each category of visiting researcher. Please direct informal enquiries either to members of staff with whom you may be interested in working or to the Director of Research.

There are three categories of visitor:

Visiting Research Fellow: intended for an individual, normally an established academic or someone engaged in a relevant research project, who wishes to undertake research in a subject area relevant to the College. A Fellowship also offers opportunities for the individual to contribute to the research culture of the College. A Fellowship is normally offered for a period of between one academic term and three academic years. There are no deadlines for applications, but please apply at least three months before the starting date of the fellowship.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow: open to researchers who have recently completed their doctorate (or who will do so by the time the fellowship begins) and who (usually) do not hold a permanent post at another academic institution. The fellowship can be held for up to one year, but is renewable. There are no deadlines for applications, but please apply at least three months before the starting date of the fellowship.
