All Souls College proposes to elect a number of Visiting Fellows, for periods of one, two or three terms, in the academic year October 2025 to June 2026. These Fellowships are intended to enable their holders to carry out study and research in Oxford and to participate in the academic life of the College and the University. Visiting Fellowships are open in all subjects. Applications will be considered from staff of any university or other institution of higher learning, from other suitably qualified persons who wish to carry out full-time scholarly work in Oxford, and from those in public life (e.g. law, public policy, journalism or the arts). In making its final choice, the College will give weight to the intellectual quality, to the interest and feasibility of the research project, and to the benefit of carrying it out in Oxford. the College also aims to create a good disciplinary mix of Visiting Fellows. It is the College's policy not to offer Visiting Fellowships to persons holding posts in Oxford or already resident in or near Oxford.
There is no stipend, but Visiting Fellows will be entitled to living accommodation, a study in College, and lunches and dinners without charge. Family accommodation is also available. Limited financial subvention may also be offered in exceptional circumstances. Any candidate wishing to apply for financial support should indicate this in the 'Financial Subvention' section on the online application form. The College is committed to promoting diversity, and particularly encourages applications from women, black and minority ethnic candidates, and others with a protected characteristic who are currently under-represented in the academic community at Oxford.
Applications may now be made for Visiting Fellowships tenable for one or more terms during the 2025-26 academic year.
Please review the Further Particulars.
Submit your application via the Online Platform.
Closing date: Monday 2 September 2024, 4pm (UK time).
In July there will be a Zoom information session on the application process for the Visiting Fellowship. The College will give an overview of the Fellowship and describe what they look for in a successful application. All are welcome, but the session will be geared towards those less familiar with such Fellowship application processes.
Information event date: Thursday 11 July 2024, 2pm (UK time).
