Its seven research centres are focused on Africa, Asia, Europe, Japan, Latin America, the Middle East, Russia and Eurasia. In the regional centres and programmes, insights and methods from both social sciences and the humanities are used to deepen our understanding of the world. The work done here helps to inform public debate and public policy.Our Fellows, students and visiting researchers include leading experts on the regions of the world and on issues of global and transnational importance.
Academic Visitorships are elected positions; the College’s Governing Body considers applications six times a year. Nominations for membership must reach Governing Body four months before the proposed start date.
To proceed with an application, you will first need to identify a sponsor, as your application must be supported by a current Governing Body Fellow of the College. A list of Governing Body Fellows and their research interests may be found here. You are welcome to contact the Fellow directly or to request the Memberships Manager (memberships@sant.ox.ac.uk) liaise with them initially.
Once a sponsor has been identified, please send the Memberships Manager a brief CV/resumé, your research proposal (maximum, two pages) outlining your plans for your stay at St Antony’s College, and the dates of your planned visit.
For the academic year 2023-24, the cost is £1,000 per term and £4,000 for the year.
