Visiting Academic Researchers - must request access to University and Department resources, including any supervision or advice they may wish to receive from academic staff, prior to their visit to ensure that their wishes can be accommodated. For Researchers who wish to access library resources remotely but do not intend to visit the centre in person, please contact the Centre directly for procedures.

Former PhD Students or Fixed Term Staff - who have reached the end of their contract may request to retain access to Centre and University Resources. Those who wish to do so must specify which resources they require (noting the duration and reason for the request) and contact the Centre accordingly.

Postdoctoral Researchers - an individual who has received his/her doctoral degree recently may be eligible to apply for Post-doctoral fellow status to continue their studies under the general supervision of one or more Centre members.

Please advised that Visiting Researchers/Teaching Fellows within the Centre will normally be expected to engage with the Centre research environment; attending research seminars, Centre events etc. The Centre may also ask an individual to present a research seminar paper and advise research students, where appropriate.

All Requests for Visiting Researcher status in the Centre must include a curriculum vitae and a brief description of the project to be undertaken during the term for which the individual is applying. The completed application/request is reviewed by the Centre including the Director and prospective sponsor and, upon approval, may be circulated to the Department of History for final confirmation.
