The Leverhulme Trust‘s Visiting Professorship scheme is for UK institutions to invite an eminent senior professor from overseas, to bring genuinely novel expertise and enhance the skills and knowledge of academic staff and students in an underrepresented area in the UK. Priority will be given to new or recent collaborations and visits with a variety of activities beyond research.
A Visiting Professorship must last at least 3 months. Grants between 3 and 6 months must be completed in one visit. Grants between 6 and 12 months can be spread over two or more visits, with 12 months being the maximum duration for a visit. Applications are invited for a minimum of £10k and a maximum of £150k.
Applications must be made by a member of academic staff, based in a UK university with research degree awarding powers, who will be responsible for coordinating the visit.
