The Department of Politics and International Relations is happy to host visiting academics who would like to work with our staff on areas of mutual research interest. Our main areas of research are covered on our website. The College can bestow a wide range of visiting titles on academic staff from other institutions.

Visiting Titles are conferred on persons of appropriate academic standing who are not members of staff of Queen Mary University of London, and who contribute in a significant way to the teaching and/or research mission of the College. An individual employed in an academic or research post at another higher education or research institution and contributing to the College’s teaching and research will normally be granted a title reflecting his/her status in the employing institution, e.g. Visiting Lecturer/Visiting Research Fellow.

Please note that usually a stay is at least 3 months.

The QMUL Joint Research Management Office can support match-making for visiting researchers.
