About this position
The Sylvia Naish Fellowship is a short research visit fellowship hosted by the Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies (ILCS), part of the University of London. It supports postdoctoral researchers working in German language and literature to spend time in London and develop their research in an international scholarly setting.
The fellowship is designed for a research stay of at least one month at ILCS between 1 October 2026 and 31 July 2027. Fellows are given access to a shared office with Wi-Fi and printing facilities, along with the German Studies Library and the Senate House Library. They are also invited to attend Institute events free of charge, offering opportunities to engage with the wider academic community at the University of London.
The award is funded by a bequest from Sylvia Naish and is intended to support focused research within the field of German studies. The post is especially suited to scholars whose work spans the language, literature, and related research areas of German studies and who would benefit from a period embedded in a specialist humanities institute in London.
