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 or working remotely. The aim of the Visiting Research Fellowship programme is to provide scholars with an opportunity to carry out independent research work whilst benefiting from engaging with BIICL's research team.  Research projects should be closely linked to BIICL's own  areas of expertise.  

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 working from the London office may use BIICL's hot-desking facilities. and may also be provided with a BIICL email address, if required.  A monthly 'bench fee' of £250 is charged to cover administrative costs. Visiting Research Fellows will have the opportunity to present a seminar, if requested, and to engage appropriately with Institute events. The Visiting Research Fellow will also be expected to take out individual BIICL membership.

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.
