Travelling Fellowships

Phyllis and Eileen Gibbs Travelling Research Fellowships


This Travelling Fellowship has been endowed with the object of assisting women graduates who have considerable experience of research (normally beyond the doctoral level), who intend to undertake fieldwork projects outside the British isles (and normally not within their own countries of residence) in Biology, Archaeology, Social Anthropology, or Sociology, with preference for Archaeology or Biology.  Fellows are required to produce a report to the College on their research, and are invited to present their work at a public lecture, followed by the annual Gibbs Dinner.

Applications are currently being accepted for the 2013-2014 Travelling Fellowship. Applications must be made on-line and the link can be found in the Further Particulars document below. The closing date for applications is Monday 18th February 2013.
