Visitors to the Institute

We welcome visiting Scholars and Students who wish to spend some time in Cambridge and do research with us. All visitors need to be invited by a member of the Institute’s faculty.

Visiting Scholars will have the opportunity to discuss and share ideas with other academics in the Institute who work within the same, or closely related, field of interest. From this mutual collaboration may come ideas, publications, and grant applications. We encourage Scholars from a wide range of backgrounds and research fields to contact us if interested.

A Visiting Student is defined as a student who is registered for a degree at another institution and who attends the University of Cambridge for a short period of study, supervised research, or a placement as part of their course.

It is the Visitor’s responsibility to obtain visas for themselves and any accompanying family members. Further information and advice can be obtained here.

If you are interested in visiting us, please send us an email and state in the title whether you wish to become a visiting Scholar or Student.

Your email should contain the following information:

(i) Please indicate who you would like to work with among our team,
(ii) please include a short outline of the proposed research you wish to carry out in Cambridge and
(iii) attach a copy of your CV.

After receiving your email, we will consider your expression of interest and contact you once a decision has been reached. Please be aware that we get a very large number of applications and therefore cannot accommodate all who apply.
