[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]British Academy Visiting Fellowships 2007-08 [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The British Academy is pleased to announce a call for applications under this year's round of its Visiting Fellowship scheme. The scheme is intended to enable early-career overseas postdoctoral academics to come to the UK for at least two months in order to carry out research in a British institution, in conjunction with a UK academic. [/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The scheme is open to application by any scholar from outside the UK who has obtained a PhD after January 2002, or who is of equivalent status. Application must be made with a UK-based academic sponsor whose home institution is willing to host the visit (UK institutions can apply to the Academy for the full economic cost of hosting the visiting scholar). [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The closing date for applications is 23 November, for visits to take place after 1 May 2008. Results of the competition will be announced in late March 2008. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Further information together with application forms and notes of guidance (for both candidates and host institutions) are available from the Academy's website:
