UCL Qatar has announced it is inviting applicants from around the world to apply for its third Academic Fellowship Programme.
This comes as part of the university’s “continuing effort to attract and develop international research in Qatar”, it has said in a statement.
As part of the initiative, UCL Qatar will host several outstanding visiting fellows who will contribute to enhancing the teaching and research profile of the institution, following the university’s “commitment to offering research-led teaching excellence”.
The fellows will also help further expand the intellectual community of UCL, their partners in Education City and Qatar at large, the statement notes.
Visiting fellows will conduct their own research in Qatar and will collaborate with UCL Qatar’s staff and students on various teaching and research projects. While interacting with the international and diverse academic community that makes Education City the knowledge hub of Qatar, they will be able to bring their research to the national and international audience.
Dr Sam Evans, director of UCL Qatar, said: “We are delighted to host visiting fellows coming to Qatar as part of our third cycle of UCL Qatar’s Visiting Fellowship Scheme. To date, we have worked with 14 incredibly knowledgeable and creative individuals who have helped UCL Qatar continue to cement its role in promoting research excellence.”
Applicants for visiting fellowships should have an affiliation to a university or equivalent research body, cultural institution or a private company, be active in the fields of cultural heritage or information studies or be an independent or emeritus researcher. They must hold higher research degrees or relevant equivalent professional or research experience and publications. All details about the scheme can be found on UCL Qatar’s website at the research page.
