Summer Fellowships

Summer Fellowships at CRASSH will end in Summer 2011.  It is hoped that the programme may be resumed in the future when the Centre relocates to new premises in West Road.

The CRASSH Summer Fellowship programme was set up to fund scholars from developing countries who wish to pursue a research project in collaboration with Cambridge faculty, who will sponsor the prospective applicant during their stay. Fellowships can be held for a six-week period from mid-June to end July. Applicants and their Cambridge sponsors should propose a project specifically related to the research resources in Cambridge.

Successful applicants are offered a package that includes economy travel costs, accommodation in a college, an office, and a modest subsistence allowance for the duration of their stay. The Centre is not able to provide additional sums for the travel and living expenses of anyone accompanying the Fellow to Cambridge.

Eligibility
The Summer Fellowships are available specifically to scholars from developing countries where there is no  provision for sabbatical leave. The scheme is open to postdoctoral researchers only: applicants must have completed a PhD.  Applications are invited from all disciplines in the arts, humanities and social sciences. It is expected that applicants would use the period of the fellowship to work on a project building on existing research for which a period in Cambridge is demonstrably appropriate, or to collaborate in the initiation of new research that can be carried on in Cambridge after the fellowship period. Applicants should be able to demonstrate a competent grasp of English.
