Visiting Fellowships

Pacific Islander Visiting Fellowship Scheme: 1 July – 23 September 2012

Corpus Christi College has a regular programme under which scholars who are citizens of the Pacific Island nations (i.e. Melanesia, Micronesia, Polynesia) who may wish to spend six or seven weeks in the summer in Cambridge are welcomed as Visiting Fellows to temporary membership of this College. These Fellowships are non-stipendiary and ideally suited to faculty members on sabbatical leave from their permanent positions. Visiting Fellows are not permitted to register for degree courses. The College will not normally consider candidates under the age of 35, or over the age of 65. Assistance towards the cost of travel to and from the UK may be available from the Macdonald-Milne Bursary. The College provides accommodation, lunch and some dinners at High Table, or at Leckhampton, the postgraduate campus of the College.
 
Visiting Fellows become members of the University of Cambridge during their stay and enjoy many of the benefits of working in an international centre for research and cultural activities. As members of Corpus Christi College they join one of the constituent colleges of the University. Corpus was founded in 1352, and uniquely among Cambridge Colleges, Corpus established a post-graduate campus, Leckhampton, as an integral part of the College but on a separate site in 1962.
