Join CBRL

CBRL Honorary Research Fellows

Eligibility
Postdoctoral researchers, with occasional inclusion of postgraduate researchers, working in the areas of research supported by the CBRL. Researchers of any nationality may apply.

Application: By curriculum vitae, with two letters of recommendation, and at least one project application, completed on the CBRL Project Affiliation form. Postgraduate researchers must have a letter of support from their supervisor.

Purpose: Honorary Fellows are appointed to enhance the academic standing of the CBRL through the conduct and publication of research of high quality within the arts and humanities. In addition, they are expected to play an active role in the life of CBRL's overseas institutes, through participation in the academic life of these establishments.

Benefits

1. Fellows will be entitled to make use of the research facilities available at the CBRL Institutes, including the library and (at normal CBRL rates) the telephones, fax machine, computers, and photocopy machine. Fellows are also entitled to hire CBRL equipment and vehicles at CBRL project rates.

2. At the discretion of the Director, for the duration of the fellowship, fellows will also be allocated such workspace as they may require to store the materials related to affiliated projects and to pursue their research.

3. If Fellows wish to add further projects to their 'portfolio' of CBRL-affiliated projects, they may do so at any time by submitting full details on the appropriate application form (one for each project).

4. The fellowship may be renewed if application is made to the UK Secretary of the CBRL five months before the end of the fellowship. The application should be accompanied by an interim report on the work completed up to that point during the tenure of the existing fellowship.

Other conditions

The fellowship is non-stipendiary and none of the benefits of it may be commuted into a monetary payment.

Fellows are normally expected to give one lecture per year about each of their affiliated projects at their main host institute, or at a CBRL meeting in the UK.

Within one month of the end of the fellowship, fellows must provide the Director of the CBRL with a report on the research conducted and other activities undertaken (e.g. lecturing) during the year of the fellowship. This should include (for inclusion in the CBRL's Annual Report) a list of all publications relevant to the fellowship that appeared or were in press during the period of the fellowship.

In addition, fellows must also submit a research report on each of their CBRL-affiliated projects to either Levant or the CBRL Newsletter as may be appropriate, depending on length and subject. The CBRL's Hon Editors will be happy to advise about details of submission. The editors also reserve the right to refuse publication or to recommend an alternative medium.

All publications (including web-pages) resulting from the work undertaken as a fellow should acknowledge the CBRL and wherever possible a copy should be deposited in the appropriate CBRL library.

Fellows may not engage in, or have an interest in, any business occupation that conflicts with the interests of the CBRL, nor may they use the name or stationery of the CBRL for purposes of self-promotion or self-advancement or to the CBRL's detriment.
