ELIGIBILITY
The Fellowships are intended as completion awards. They will be awarded to students who are engaged in doctoral research in history (broadly defined) and who will have completed at least three years of full-time or four years of part-time research on their doctoral programme (and not more than four years’ full-time or six years’ part-time) at the beginning of the academic year in which the awards will be held. Adjustments to these timings will be made for North American degrees, which are longer in duration. Fellowships will normally be tenable for six months.
These awards cannot be held in conjunction with any other substantial maintenance grant. Fellows may engage in teaching or other paid work for up to six hours per week.
A condition of the awards is that Fellows will participate actively in the academic life of the Institute. They will be required to attend and present papers at appropriate IHR seminars and to give information and help to fellow scholars working in the same field.
VISAS
Fellows, if they do not already have the right to reside and study in the UK, will require a visa, and must ascertain what category of visa is most suitable for them. Further details of visa categories can be found at http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visitingtheuk/
