The Glasgow Law Fellowship
The Glasgow Law Fellowship
THIS SCHEME IS NOW CLOSED FOR SESSION 2024/25 AND IS ANTICIPATED TO REOPEN FOR APPLICATIONS IN SPRING 2025.
The Scheme
The purpose of the Fellowship is to allow visiting scholars to spend a period of time at Glasgow Law School undertaking a research project and engaging with our academic community. Glasgow Law Fellowships are supported through the generous funding of the James and Grace Sutherland Estate. We anticipate a maximum of three fellowships in each academic year. Applications must be supported by an academic sponsor, who must be an existing member of academic staff at the University of Glasgow Law School.
Application Process
To apply, please complete the application form: Glasgow Law Fellowship application form. The form is in two parts. Sections 1,2 and 3 must be completed by you. Section 4 must be completed by your academic sponsor, who will submit the form on your behalf.
They should submit the form to Marion.McGhee@glasgow.ac.uk
Applications will be reviewed by the School's Research Committee, which will have regard to (a) the merit of the applicant's project outline and (b) the opportunities for mutual benefit both to the applicant from spending time in Glasgow as a Law Fellow and to the School's research community in benefiting from the Fellow's participation. The Research Committee will over time seek to ensure that Fellowships are awarded to academics from a broad range of different subject areas within law.
The Context
The school has a vibrant, collegial research community and encourages the development of interdisciplinary expertise with colleagues across the University through research networks, collaborative events and programming, and an active research student community.
Applicants should be keen on being an active part of a lively research community and on intellectual exchange with its members. The School, through its research groups, also sustains a full calendar of research events, such as regular seminars, workshops and conferences, which fellows are normally expected to attend and contribute to. A full list of our staff members is available here and see here for details of the School's Research Groups and Research Themes.
Terms
The minimum period of visit is two weeks; however, we encourage applicants to stay for a longer period. Stays in July and August are discouraged due to the summer break.
Fellows will be provided with workspace and access to facilities and libraries in the School and are offered up to £2000 of financial support to help with travel and accommodation costs.
