Visiting Fellows and Visiting Senior Fellows

Visiting Fellow appointments are intended to help Departments, Institutes and Centres to invite staff who are either practitioners or academics in other institutions to conduct research, or be involved in other departmental/institute/centre activities. No salary is paid by the School for these appointments.

Visiting Fellows: This category is aimed at academics who are pre-Major Review, practitioners at a broadly comparable level in their profession and researchers in the early stages of their career.

Visiting Senior Fellows: includes academics who are of the Lecturer (post-Major Review equivalent), Senior Lecturer, or Reader level, and professionals at a broadly comparable level in their profession.
