The University of Birmingham-Fulbright Distinguished Chair
We are one of a handful of UK universities to host a Fulbright Distinguished Chair, the most prestigious Fulbright award. The Fulbright Distinguished Chair is a generous six-month secondment that enables a prominent US professor to be based at the University of Birmingham. Further information on this award can be found at: http://www.fulbright.org.uk/going-to-the-uk/senior-scholar-awards/awards-available/university-of-birmingham-distinguished-chair
The University of Birmingham-Fulbright Scholar Award
The University offers one Fulbright-University of Birmingham Scholar award annually, enabling a researcher based at a US institution to visit the University of Birmingham for a period of 3-9 months to conduct research in any subject. Further information on this award can be found at: http://www.fulbright.org.uk/going-to-the-uk/scholar-awards/awards-available/university-of-birmingham
In addition to these partner awards, the University of Birmingham is also happy to host further Fulbright Award holders in their studies.
Further information regarding these awards is available on our own website at: https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/campaigns/ir/Make-important-things-happen-with-a-Fulbright-Award.aspx
We will be running some virtual information sessions for both Birmingham academics keen to learn more about the awards and also for prospective candidates. All awards are made by the Fulbright Commission, and full details of how to apply may be found at the Fulbright Commission website.
