Join us as visiting researcher
We offer opportunities for external researchers to come on short visits to the Copernicus Institute and collaborate with the institute’s research staff. To apply please directly contact the researcher(s) with whom you would like to collaborate with a CV and research idea, and they will explore possibilities with you.
As a visiting scholar, you have access to
- the university library
- a UU account
- a flexible workplace
- workshops, seminars and other departmental activities
For short visits this partnership is usually entered into with no exchange of funds. We provide the aforementioned facilities and you organise and fund your visit to Utrecht. Longer visits can be accommodated in discussion with management and may incur a cost. We are occasionally able to offer funded visiting researcher positions through specific research projects, which, if running, will be posted below.
