A small number of academic visitors are welcome in the Department each year depending on the space available. We are particularly interested in welcoming visitors whose research interests overlap with the interests of our own staff in order to cultivate interaction. If you are interested in joining the Department as an Academic Visitor you would need firstly to gain the support of a current member of staff and you should discuss this informally before making an application.
As an Academic Visitor, you will be able to attend any lectures and seminars in the University, use appropriate facilities in the Department and Departmental Library and join in the life of the Department.
There is a charge for this of £60 (plus vat) per month (2009/10 rate) to cover the provision of facilities. It is possible, in special circumstances and depending on the nature of your work in the Department, to apply for a reduction of this fee, additionally any prospective visitor who wishes to plead special hardship should discuss this with their Departmental Sponsor.
The offer of Academic Visitor Status does not include supervision of your work whilst in the Department but you are welcome to discuss your work informally.
If you would like to apply for Academic Visitor Status you should first discuss this with a member of the Department who would be willing to sponsor your application. Then complete the Visitors Form and forward it to the Secretary to the Department (Kate Stacey; ks298@cam.ac.uk) with a copy of your current cv.
The Home Office has introduced new rules on the treatment of Academic Visitors and, if you are coming from abroad, you must check whether you need a permit with the British Embassy in your home country.
We regret to say that the Faculty is unable to help with accommodation but there is a Cambridge Society for Visiting Scholars; this organisation may be able to help you. Visit their webpage; www-accommodation.admin.cam.ac.uk
