Research Fellowships

The Fellow is a member of the Governing Body of the College for the first two years and is entitled to free lunches and dinners in College and a research allowance. Fellows by Examination are expected to live in the Oxford area, and his/her research base must be in Oxford.

The 2025 Fellowship by Examination competition has now closed. The next competition round will open in September 2025.
Visiting Fellowships
Each year the College elects a Visiting Fellow or Fellows for periods of one year or shorter during an academic year. In addition, a Robert S. Campbell Visiting Fellow may be elected for research in law, especially commercial or competition law. A Visiting Fellowship is intended to offer an established scholar, either from abroad or from the United Kingdom, an opportunity to pursue his or her own study and research as a member of the College.
