VISITING SCHOLARS. The Center occasionally hosts scholars from the US and abroad whose research is related to one or more of the Center’s subject focus areas. Visiting Scholars typically confer with a mentor during their stay at the Center and are encouraged to participate in seminars hosted by the Institute for Policy Studies. Visiting Scholars may also be invited to present a seminar to Institute students and staff.
Minimum qualifications. A visiting scholar must have a doctoral degree or be an established expert in his or her field and is expected to be proficient in English.
Length of visit. Visiting scholars may come to the Center for as short a period as one month or may arrange to stay for a longer period of 1 or 2 academic semesters.
Timing. Please contact us at least six months before your desired start time.
Administrative program fee and expenses. The administrative program fee for a visit of up to two months by a scholar from outside the United States is $2,500, with an additional monthly fee for longer stays, which helps to cover the Center’s hosting costs. A safe estimate for living expenses in Baltimore is between $2000-$2500 per month. Additional expenses, such as obtaining travelers’ health insurance, visa fees, and travel will vary by applicant.
Applying to the program. Email a letter of interest to Mimi Bilzor briefly describing the focus of your research, your reasons for wanting to conduct your research in the US and for selecting CCSS as a host organization, and the preferred timing of your visit. Please also include a brief biography or attach a copy of your C.V.
