Posted by What Is The Opportunity?
The Visiting Fellowship programme is open to scholars wishing to do research in all areas of public international law. Visitors come to pursue their own research in a tranquil and congenial atmosphere where they have an opportunity to meet with other scholars and to discuss matters with the Centre’s Fellows. Or they may come simply to spend a period in quiet reading. Visitors are left to get on with their work in the manner that best suits them but also encouraged to take part in the Centre’s activities.
What Are The Details Of The Opportunity?
- Application guidelines: The following are some guidelines if you are considering applying to be a Visiting Fellow or Scholar:
- Applicants should first make an initial enquiry to the Centre by emailing their research objectives to visitors@lcil.cam.ac.uk. If research objectives fall within the remit of the Centre, more information will be sent;
- The Centre accepts applications for students completing work on their PhD;
- Decisions regarding applications are made by the Committee of Management;
- The work of the Centre is conducted in English. Visitors who are not proficient in English will experience difficulty in sharing fully in the life of the Centre. A good standard of English-language competence is required in line with the standards set by the Faculty of Law for PhD students (currently, an IELTS score of 7.5, or an iTOEFL score of 110 with minimum levels set in each element). Further information on requirements: PhD in Law | Postgraduate Admissions (cam.ac.uk)
- In principle, the Centre does not accept persons enrolled for higher degrees at UK universities (including Cambridge) as Visiting Fellows or Scholars;
- Visiting Fellows and Scholars pay a ‘Centre fee’ to assist in covering the cost of provision of facilities at the Centre, including computers, libraries (University of Cambridge Library and the Squire Law Library) and desk space. The Centre is not in a position to provide financial assistance. All visitors must have the means to support themselves for the duration of their stay;
- It is the Visiting Fellow’s/Scholar’s responsibility to apply for the correct visa if a visa is required for entry to the UK;
- Visiting Fellows and Scholars are encouraged to attend all open lectures and other events that are held at the Centre. By arrangement they may also attend lectures and talks on international law and related subjects elsewhere in the University;
- Visitors normally stay at the Centre between one term and one year;
- The Lauterpacht Centre is not a teaching institution, and does not award diplomas or certificates. Those interested in enrolling for Cambridge University degree or diploma courses in international law or international relations should contact the Faculty of Law or the Department of Politics and International Studies.
