Visiting Fellowships 

The British Institute of International and Comparative Law welcomes applications from international legal academics and scholars 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 should be closely linked with that of the Institute, its research fellows and its ongoing research programme  whilst benefiting from working with the Institute's permanent research staff.

Please note that applicants from outside the UK need to ensure that they have an eligible visa or ETA for undertaking academic activities if they are intending to be based at BIICL's London office.   This requirement does not apply to those planning to be involved remotely.

Visiting Fellowship Arrangements at BIICL

Visiting Research Fellows are provided for the duration of their stay with a shared work station, computer and, if relevant, a BIICL email address. In return, a monthly 'bench fee' is charged to cover administration costs. The Visiting Research Fellow will be expect to present a seminar, if requested, and to engage appropriately with Institute events. The Visiting Research Fellow will be expected to take out individual membership of the Institute.

How to Apply

To apply for a Visiting Research Fellowship, in the first instance, please email the following information to the Director of Governance & Operations : 

  • 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.

Applicants should note that the Visiting Fellows programme is designed principally for researchers who hold a PhD or have equivalent experience in practice. Only in exceptional circumstances will applications be considered from those presently engaged in PhD studies who do not also have extensive practical experience.

A monthly 'bench fee' is charged to cover administration costs.
