Fellowships

Over many years the IHR has been an international centre of excellence for the study of history and for the training of future historians. Thanks to the generosity of a range of learned societies, donors and benefactors we not only support early career scholars but also reward the highest quality work produced in seminars, articles and books. Every year the IHR hosts some 30 Junior Research Fellows, dispenses bursaries to help with research trips, conference attendance and the costs of publication, and awards a number of specific prizes. Additionally, we are able to help research students who may be facing temporary strain on their financial resources.

The main focus of our programme is on fellowships. The IHR has two categories of fellowship: senior fellowships and junior research fellowships. Senior fellows comprise honorary fellows, senior research fellows, associate fellows, and visiting fellows. Applications for junior research fellowships, funded for six months or a year, are invited annually. All fellows are entitled to access to the IHR's library, facilities and resources, and in turn are expected to contribute to the activities of the IHR.
