Visiting Research Fellowships

Page updated 5 Nov 2007

Under the Visiting Research Fellowships programme, the Treasury sponsors academics to spend a period at Treasury working on a project of mutual interest.

Details

The Research Fellowship typically extends for a period of three to twelve weeks, but may take the form of a sabbatical of six months or more. Up to three Research Fellows are sponsored per year.

In some cases, the Research Fellow works on his or her own project - but one which is of interest to the Treasury - and interacts with staff during his or her stay. In other cases, the Fellow works directly on a specific Treasury project with Treasury staff. In addition, Research Fellow usually gives a seminar for Treasury staff during their stay.

Typically, the salary costs of the Research Fellow are met by their home institution, while Treasury contributes some funding towards travel, living or research costs.

There is no deadline for receiving proposals for Visiting Research Fellowships.
