The package offers funding of up to £1,500 per academic year, plus administrative support. Activities may include seminars, reading/discussion groups, short visits by speakers to Cambridge and we also provide a regular slot in the seminar rooms in the Alison Richard Building.

Research Grant Applications at CRASSH

CRASSH is interested in continuing its rolling programme of interdisciplinary, collaborative research projects and welcomes approaches from academics who would like to base their projects in our unique research environment.  Normally, we spend a good deal of time developing projects together, to fit with our interdisciplinary collaborative agenda and to increase the chance of the grant application succeeding, making use of our considerable experience. Consequently, it is advisable to make contact as early as possible with the Director, Steven Connor, no later than three months before the deadline.

Visiting Fellowships

Visiting Fellowships are designed to support the Centre's research interests, projects, and activities. Depending on the Fellowship,  Fellows are usually given desk space in the Centre as well as certain practical assistance in their research. CRASSH can assist in arranging accommodation in a College, and enable access to the University Library and other departmental libraries.  CRASSH may also support visitors who come to Cambridge for a period of days or weeks in order to participate in a particular activity organised by the Centre. If you have your own funding in place you should apply to the Centre well in advance of your intended visit.
Please email fellowships@crassh.cam.ac.uk with any enquiries.
