Visiting Scholars
The Centre welcomes expressions of interest from postdoctoral scholars and senior academics who are working in areas related to its own research interests. Academic Visitors are provided with research facilities, and encouraged to participate in seminars & workshops and contribute to the intellectual and social life of the Faculty during their visit. Visits would normally last between a term and one academic year.
Applicants must secure independent funding for accommodation and living expenses for the period of their proposed visit, and are asked to pay standard bench fee of £600 per term (3 months) and £2,000 per year (12 months). We are unable to assist with finding accommodation, college association, travel or visa arrangements.
You will need to fill in this Visitor Application Form
Details of our fees for visitors of this type are available in the Academic Visitor's application form.
You will need to include:
- A sponsor who is a current postholder(*see above) of the History Faculty.
- Statement/proposal of intended activities, including rationale for association with the Faculty
- An up-to-date CV
Completed applications will go to the Chair of the Faculty Board and/or the Head of Administration of Finance for consideration.
Once approved, visitors are welcome to request letters of support for their funding body.
Research Students
We do not participate in co-tutelle arrangements, and there are only limited opportunities for History graduates who are currently enrolled in another institution to come to Oxford on a short-term visit:
Recognised Student Status - This status is given to (a) graduate research students registered with another university and admitted by an Oxford faculty to undertake research for their degree for a minimum of one and maximum of three terms; and (b) to early career researchers admitted to work with an Oxford academic. It does not involve membership of a College or an Oxford qualification. If this is the status you need, please do not fill in the OCGH Academic Visitor Application Form, but instead apply for admission as a Recognised Student via the form here. Please note that we do not require support from our Head of Department to be included with your application.
Erasmus - Check whether your institution participates in this.
