Applicants should be recognized as significant scholars in their field or emerging leaders who have made a contribution to original research that extends the frontier of knowledge. Global Fellow will be expected to engage virtually with students and colleagues throughout the 2023/23 academic year and to visit St. Andrews between August 1, 2023 and July 31, 2024.
