Back Magdalen College Visiting Fellowships 2027 This competition is intended for established scholars and is a non-stipendiary visiting research post for up to a maximum of one year. The College proposes to elect a Visiting Fellow or Fellows for the academic year 2027-2028. In addition, a Robert S Campbell Visiting Fellow may be elected for research in law, especially Commercial Law, Competition or Antitrust Law, Constitutional Law and Contract Law. A Visiting Fellowship is intended to offer an established scholar, either from abroad or from elsewhere in the United Kingdom, an opportunity to pursue his or her own study and research as a member of the College. Applications are particularly welcome from women and from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford. Applications, including a research proposal and CV, must be received by UK Time 12.00 noon on Friday 11 December 2026. Referees' references must be received by UK Time 12.00 noon on Thursday 14 January 2027. Incomplete applications will NOT be accepted. Please make sure that your application and your references reach us before the respective closing dates. To apply you are required to register.

Competition Details Eligibility Requirements Further Details Fellowship Details Application Timetable Eligibility Requirements A Visiting Fellowship is intended to offer an established scholar, either from abroad or from elsewhere in the United Kingdom, an opportunity to pursue his or her own study and research as a member of the College. Applications are particularly welcome from women and from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford. Candidates who completed their PhD or similar academic studies less than 7 years before 1 October of the academic year for which they are applying will not usually be considered for a Fellowship. More junior academics who feel they have strong mitigating circumstances can complete the application form and the system will provide the facility to provide an explanation on the Academic Details page. The College will generally give preference to individuals who would particularly benefit from the opportunity to spend time in Oxford to pursue their proposed research project, and would find it difficult to do so without the support of a Visiting Fellowship. Individuals who have until recently held an academic position or Visiting Fellowship in Oxford, or who already have use of common room facilities at another Oxford college, are unlikely to be offered a Fellowship. The Fellowship Administrator is unable to answer queries relating to your eligibility; please follow the instructions. Further Details A research proposal of maximum 2,000
