Visiting Fellowship 2025-26

Mansfield College proposes to elect up to four Visiting Fellowships for all or part of the academic year October 2025 - September 2026.  The purpose of the Visiting Fellowship, which is non-stipendiary, is to provide a social and academic base for visiting scholars to conduct research in Oxford University, to have access to University libraries, and to use the College as a means of establishing contact with other scholars in the College and the University.  This year, Visiting Fellowships are open to scholars whose interests lie within the following subjects: Economics, English, Geography, History, Jurisprudence, Philosophy, Politics, and Theology.

Visiting Fellows will be full members of the Senior Common Room.  The Fellowship covers 2 free meals per week and 3 dinners per term.  The College is unable to provide study space or residential accommodation.

Please note that the Fellowship is not suitable for DPhil/PhD students, post-doctoral researchers, or academics holding a post in Oxford.
