Guest Researchers

Throughout the year NVIC welcomes a number of guest researchers (advanced, post-MA). Read here what it takes to become one of NVIC’s guest researchers.

As an NVIC guest researcher, we welcome you into our research community. We offer you a desk to work on (in case of availability), free access to our library, and administrative support regarding permissions for access to other institutes, libraries, applications for permits etc. (no financial support or support for visa extensions or residence permits).

In return, we expect you to contribute to the scholarly community at NVIC, for example by presenting a lecture on your research within the weekly lecture series or giving a student seminar about your research during your stay at NVIC. We also expect you to be at the institute at least one day a week and preferably more.

How to apply for a guest researcher spot at NVIC?

• Send a description of your research project (ca. 500 words) to info@nvic.leidenuniv.nl
• Motivate why you want to be associated with NVIC specifically

• Inform us of your intended start and end dates

We offer a reduced rate at our guest rooms should you stay there for at least 3 consecutive weeks (10% discount on the rates quoted here).

Applications can be sent freely throughout the year, there is no deadline for applications. The number of desk spaces for guest researchers is limited, so there is no guarantee for acceptance. Please contact us at an early stage at info@nvic.leidenuniv.nl.
