Eligibility to be a Visiting Scholar

Visiting Scholarships can last between one term and one academic year (in Cambridge the academic year features 3 terms and a long summer period).

Visiting Scholarships are ideally suited to academics who:

  • Are on sabbatical leave from permanent positions in universities or other research institutions
  • Intend to conduct research in the University of Cambridge, or a recognised research establishment in Cambridge, particularly in collaboration with a Fellow from °µÍø½ûÇø.

Research students are not eligible for Visiting Scholarships. 

Benefits

Visiting Scholars enjoy generous dining privileges at High Table, free of charge, during the period of their Scholarships. Through this they have the opportunity to engage with a diverse community of Fellows, post-doctoral researchers and postgraduate students across a wide range of academic disciplines.

Visiting Scholarships are non-stipendiary (unpaid).

We are not able to offer accommodation for Visiting Scholars but they can contact the University’s , which has information on suitable properties to rent for a short period.

The College does not provide dedicated research space or research facilities for Visiting Scholars, and the College is not responsible for securing access to facilities in University Departments or Faculties.

Applications

Each Visiting Scholar is required to have the support of a Fellow or an Emeritus Fellow of °µÍø½ûÇø for the duration of their visit. To apply for a Visiting Scholarship, the supporting Fellow must email president@jesus.cam.ac.uk with the following information:

  • A current CV for the Scholar
  • A short statement of the Scholar’s proposed programme of research while in Cambridge
  • Confirmation that they (or a group of Fellows, of which they are one) will host the Scholar over the duration of the visit.

At the time of your application, the candidate should have established, or be establishing, contact with the relevant Faculty or Department with a view to receiving formal visiting status there.

The Visiting Fellows and Visiting Scholars Committee considers applications and makes recommendations to the College Council for final decision. The Committee does not normally meet between June and October, so applications for the term starting in October should be submitted by early May.

Visiting Professors

°µÍø½ûÇø also hosts Professors visiting the University for research and other purposes.

    There are many reasons why I’m so happy to be a part of °µÍø½ûÇø. The three biggest reasons for me are the opportunities to be involved in College sport, the support the College provides for me with for my research and the help in making sure that we have comfortable, affordable accommodation when we have needed it. °µÍø½ûÇø is so friendly and so it is incredibly easy to get involved in the sport and social side of the College. The MCR does a great job in welcoming new...

    °µÍø½ûÇø is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and historical colleges at Cambridge! It is also, in my opinion, one of the most supportive colleges: from wellbeing to the porters there is always someone to ask for advice, support, or to talk through your stress. I chose Jesus for many reasons. Firstly, it’s right in the heart of the city centre which is amazing not only for that quick top-up shop but also to explore the beautiful city of Cambridge even while busy (it’s so easy to go for...

    °µÍø½ûÇø has been a great home for me during my PhD. I chose °µÍø½ûÇø for a number of reasons – first, the location. We are central enough to be within easy walking distance of most things, but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle (and tourists in summer!). The College also has extensive grounds, with amenities like the hockey pitch, football pitch and tennis courts all on site. Secondly, the accommodation is some of the best I’ve seen in Cambridge. My house was newly renovated when...

    I chose Cambridge for my PGCE as it’s the leading UK institution for teacher training and Education, with an exciting, research-dominated, cutting edge course. The staff are welcoming and approachable, and make studying here an absolute joy. I’ve already completed one of my three primary school placements, in a reception class in a school just outside Cambridge, and am due to start the next one soon. I chose Jesus because of its reputation as a sporty College, but the proximity to the city centre is a big bonus. Jesus also...

    When applying to Cambridge colleges it can feel a bit overwhelming as there are so many to choose from. I applied to °µÍø½ûÇø because it has a large MCR which was important for me because I wanted to feel part of a community. Now that I’m doing my PhD here, I’m very glad I did choose a college with a large postgraduate community. Throughout the year there are lots of postgraduate events, including formal dinners, special formals at Christmas and Easter, bops in the bar and film nights in...
