About the Organization

The University of Liverpool is a place where people thrive through inspiring education and innovative research. We are the original redbrick, a historic part of the city of Liverpool for nearly 150 years and a founding member of the prestigious Russell Group. Since 1881, our aim has been the same: the advancement of learning and ennoblement of life.

About the Fellowship

As part of its commitment to nurturing international research partnerships, the School of Law and Social Justice invites applications for incoming International Visiting Research Fellowships.

The scheme aims to attract academics from outside of the UK to develop or extend collaborations with existing staff and/or research clusters within the School.

In line with our Global Strategy, we are particularly interested in establishing and enhancing sustainable and inclusive collaborations with academics in the Global South.

Benefits:

An International Visiting Research Fellowship within the School of Law and Social Justice provides scholars with the opportunity to establish and develop research collaborations within a thriving research community. Each Fellow will receive:

• Funded Fellows only will receive a stipend (up to a maximum of £5,000) which can be used for travel, accommodation or subsistence (the final sum awarded will be at the discretion of the School); full access to the University of Liverpool Library Services and all other University services, including the sports facilities;
• Desk space within the School of Law and Social Justice Building, which is located on the south side of the University campus and only a short distance (10 minutes' walk) from Liverpool city centre;
