Fulbright Scholar Awards
Leverhulme Visiting Professorship Scheme
These awards enable distinguished academics based overseas to spend between 3 and 12 months inclusive at a UK university, primarily to enhance the skills of academic staff or the student body within the host institution. It is recognised that Visiting Professors may also wish to use the opportunity to further their own academic interests. The over-riding criteria for selection are first the academic standing and achievements of the visitor in terms of research and teaching, and secondly the ability of the receiving institution to benefit from the imported skills and expertise. Priority will be given to new or recent collaborative ventures. Closing dates are May and October each year.
