Visit the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science
LCDS welcomes interest from early-career researchers, visiting academics and doctoral researchers whose work connects with our thematic research areas. Visits may be arranged through formal exchange routes, University visitor schemes or a visitor’s own external funding. All visits are subject to academic fit, space availability, Centre approval and completion of the relevant University processes.
LCDS and OPR Princeton Exchange
LCDS and Princeton University’s Office of Population Research support exchange opportunities for eligible graduate students and faculty members.
The graduate exchange enables students to spend time at the partner institution under the general supervision of a host faculty member. The visiting faculty initiative supports collaborative research, intellectual exchange and participation in Centre activities, including seminars, workshops and other academic events.
Oxford and LCDS researchers interested in visiting OPR Princeton should contact lcds.research@demography.ox.ac.uk.
Princeton OPR students and staff interested in visiting LCDS should contact the Office of the Dean of the Graduate School at Princeton in the first instance, in line with Princeton’s internal nomination and approval process.
Short-term research visits
The University of Oxford welcomes applications from academics employed at overseas universities for visits of between one month and one year. These include Visiting Scholars who are research-active academic staff at other institutions and Doctoral Researchers who are registered as doctoral students at another institution. Details of which can be found here.
Researchers with their own funding are also welcome to contact LCDS about potential short-term visits throughout the year.
To discuss a potential visit to LCDS, please email lcds.research@demography.ox.ac.uk.
I am looking forward to returning to LCDS’ vibrant intellectual community as a Visiting Fellow this year. I am excited to attend talks and seminars, to exchange ideas with colleagues, to continue ongoing collaborations, and to forge new connections. Dr Ramina Sotoudeh, LCDS alumni
