St. Andrews Fellowship

St. Andrews' Global Fellowship Scheme

UC faculty are invited to apply for St. Andrews’ Global Fellowship Scheme—a program that provides awards to enable talented scholars from around the globe to spend up to one month at St Andrews. During this time, Global Fellows will be able to undertake a course of research and study, explore potential collaborations, enhance existing relationships, advance research work and find the space to think in an inspirational environment.

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. St. Andrews provides all awardees with a stipend during their visit, self-catered accommodation, roundtrip airfare and airport transfers.

Please see the Global Fellowship web page for more information about applying or contact globalfellows@st-andrews.ac.uk. The next window for applications will open in November 2024.
