The Middle East Centre welcomes applications for Visiting Fellowships on a rolling basis. Fellowships are mainly offered to researchers who will make a significant contribution to the work of the MEC. Fellowships may also be given to recognise or enable contributions to the MEC from those in journalism, government service, in professional practice, or in other appropriate fields. Please note that the MEC receives a high number of applications and is only able to support a very small proportion of these that fit best with the Centre’s research programmes and capacity. Visiting Fellowships are unpaid. PhD students are not eligible.

The LSE Middle East Centre welcomes submissions for the 2022 round of its Master's Dissertation Prize competitions; one open to LSE students for dissertations on the Middle East, and one for any student at a British university whose dissertation relates to Algeria.

For each prize, the winner receives £250 and the runner-up £150, with both invited to contribute a blog piece related to their research to the MEC Blog. Prizes are awarded in January 2023. Last year's winners of the LSE Master's Dissertation prize were Yasmina Burgan (1st), Maya Fawzi (1st) and Sara Albertini (2nd).
