Visiting Fellowships at the Institute

The British Institute of International and Comparative Law welcomes applications from Visiting Research Fellows to conduct their own research whilst based in London. The objectives of the Visiting Research Fellowship are to provide scholars with an opportunity to have a base in London to carry out independent research work, which need not be directly connected with the Institute's ongoing research programme, whilst benefiting from working in proximity with the Institute's permanent research staff.

Visiting Research Fellows are provided for the duration of their stay with a computer, a BIICL email address, and free attendance at BIICL events. In return, a small 'bench fee' of £100 a month is charged to cover administration costs. The Visiting Research Fellow will be expected to present a seminar, if requested, and to engage appropriately with Institute events. The Visiting Research Fellow will be expected to take out Institute membership.

To apply for a Visiting Research Fellowship, in the first instance please email the following information to the Institute Secretary, Ruth Eldon, at r.eldon@biicl.org:

  • A brief biographical note;
  • A brief summary of the research you intend to carry out whilst at BIICL;
  • A short reference from an academic institution, professional body or similar; and
  • The proposed length of stay.
