MacCormick Fellowships

Edinburgh Law School is delighted to offer a visiting fellowship named in honour of Professor Sir Neil MacCormick, Professor Emeritus at Edinburgh Law School, and formerly Regius Professor of Public Law and the Law of Nature and Nations, University of Edinburgh.

If you wish to spend an extended period of time at Edinburgh Law School, we offer a number of MacCormick Visiting Fellowships every year. Edinburgh Law School is highly ranked both in the UK and in Europe, and offers an excellent environment in which to conduct advanced research. Visiting Fellows are provided with work space and related facilities in the School, and some limited financial support for expenses related to the Visit of up to £3,000. 

Applications are welcome from scholars in any field of Legal Studies broadly conceived, although preference may be given to applicants whose research is related to the School's research areas or research centres. During their stays, MacCormick Visiting Fellows are required to present one MacCormick Seminar on their work.

Application is by covering letter, Curriculum Vitae, and statement of proposed research, supported by an internal sponsor and including the expected length of visit and required facilities, all of which should be sent by email attachment to Stacey Rudkin, Research and Knowledge Exchange Office. There are no deadlines for MacCormick Fellowship applications which are considered twice a year (31 March and 30 September). Informal enquiries can also be made to Stacey Rudkin, Administrator of the Visiting Academics Programme.
