Visiting Researchers
Visiting Researchers are researchers who apply to join the Centre on a non-stipendiary basis to pursue research in line with the Centre’s remit. Visiting Researchers are appointed for a period between three and twelve months, and are expected to attend the Centre’s various activities and contribute to them. They will have access to a wide range of resources in the field of Islamic and Middle Eastern studies, including the vast collection of material at the numerous University of Cambridge libraries. They are also given a University of Cambridge email account, and they will be able to attend public lectures and seminars in the University. The Centre, however, does not offer office space or accommodation.
