VISITING FELLOWSHIP SCHEME

 The Hellenic Observatory (HO) welcomes applications for Visiting Fellows and Visiting Senior Fellows  by academics or policy practitioners who may want to spend a period of between 6-12 months at the LSE to conduct independent research on a topic relevant to the work of the Hellenic Observatory. It is anticipated that Visiting Fellows and Visiting Senior Fellows will play an active part in the intellectual life of the Hellenic Observatory during their fellowship.

Applications submitted to the scheme will first be considered by the Hellenic Observatory. Applications accepted at this stage will then be nominated to a central LSE committee, who make the final decision regarding visiting fellowships.

HO VISITING FELLOWSHIP

Visiting Fellowships target researchers at an early stage of their career (pre-major review) who already hold a tenure-track university affiliation and wish to conduct a specific piece of research on a topic relevant to the research of the Hellenic Observatory.

Applications by practitioners and researchers outside the academia may also be considered, but normally applicants should hold at least a PhD degree or have equivalent professional experience.

HO SENIOR VISITING FELLOWSHIP

The Visiting Senior Fellowship category is aimed at academics that are of the Lecturer (post major review), Senior Lecturer or Reader level, and practitioners or professionals at a broadly comparable level in their profession.

The title of Visiting Senior Fellow is given to individuals from outside the School associated with School Departments/Institutes/Centres. The status is intended to apply to scholars who have already published work of distinction, as well as recognising the contribution from those in government service, in professional practice, in the private sector, or in other appropriate fields, to research and other Departmental/Institute/Centre activities.

PRACTICAL ARRANGEMENTS

Timing: There will be a Visiting Appointment start date announced for each round of applications. For the current (fourth) round of applications, the Visiting appointment start date is from 1 August 2017. Visiting Fellows and Visiting Senior Fellows may start at any time after the appointment start date, subject to agreement between each individual fellow and the Hellenic Observatory. However, we do prefer Visitors to be with us during term time and for a period of 6-12 months.

Duration: Fellowships will normally run for 6-12 months, but longer visits may, by exception, be approved. Shorter visits (minimum 10 weeks) may also be considered but this is not the School’s preference.

Status in the School: The title of Visiting Fellow and Visiting Senior Fellow is given to individuals from outside the School associated with School departments, institutes and Centres. Visiting Fellows have access to the facilities of the Hellenic Observatory, and will also be able to enjoy access to the facilities of LSE as a whole.

Funding: Visiting fellowships do not carry an emolument and the Hellenic Observatory does not normally offer a stipend. It is advisable that all interested applicants should firstly research the likely costs associated with living in London as these costs are high before proceeding with an application.

Computer facilities and desk space: Visiting Fellows and Visiting Senior Fellows will be provided with an LSE login and email address, enabling them to use computer facilities at the School (for example, in the LSE library). The Hellenic Observatory may be able to provide Visiting Fellows and Visiting Senior Fellows with desk space, but this cannot be guaranteed.

Accommodation: the School is not able to make any arrangements for living accommodation for visitors. The LSE’s accommodation website<http://lse.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0cffe523acd8e0bbaa83d3ab1&id=04a9d3d89c&e=8259b6edaa>, however, provides useful guidance on finding private rented housing.
