Belcher Visiting Fellowship in Victorian Studies 2025-2026

Applications are invited for the Belcher Visiting Fellowship at St Hugh’s College, Oxford, from academics at all career stages.

The Principal and Fellows of St Hugh’s College are pleased to invite applications for the Belcher Visiting Fellowship in Victorian Studies, for the academic year 2025-2026. Applications are particularly encouraged for the full academic year, but applications for one or two terms of that year, or for the calendar year 2026, will also be considered.

The Belcher Visiting Fellowship in Victorian Studies is offered for a period of no longer than 12 months. It is usually held by academics on paid research leave from another institution, but other arrangements are possible. The Fellow is not an employee of St Hugh’s and no salary is paid, but a grant and various allowances are made to cover expenses. If necessary to secure (additional) sabbatical leave from the Fellow’s home institution, a further sum may be available to cover the cost of replacement teaching.

Please see the Further Particulars and Selection Criteria for details.

Applications are particularly welcome from women and black and minority ethnic candidates, who are under-represented in academic posts in Oxford. All applicants will be judged on merit, according to the selection criteria.

The closing date for receipt of applications is 9.00am on Monday 6 January 2025.

Enquiries about the Fellowship and the application process should be addressed in the first instance to Dr Alex Middleton. These will not influence the selection and appointment procedure in any way.
