The facade of an old building with steps leading to a door.

Edinburgh Futures Institute is seeking applications for the Visiting Fellowship Programme 2025/2026. They are seeking applications that align with their vision to challenge, create, and make change happen, that tackle complex issues by bringing people and disciplines together to spark the unexpected and make better futures possible.

The Visiting Fellowship programme offers researchers who have an open-ended position within an academic institution the chance to work within the Futures Institute for 3–6 months. Successful applicants will be expected to make a contribution to the research community through delivering guest lectures or seminars, collaborating on grant proposals, or contributing to teaching.

The applicant’s research should contribute to collaborative, data-driven, and interdisciplinary research innovation across the University of Edinburgh, within one of the following key research areas:

  • Creative Industries & Digital Humanities
  • Ethics of Data and Artificial Intelligence
  • Financial Services & Fintech
  • Future Infrastructure
  • Public Sector: prevention, data civics, participatory democracy, governance
  • Tourism & Festivals

Applications are encouraged from researchers in these fields, and decisions will be made based on experience and research commensurate to career stage. The fellowship will also give particular consideration to those from Low or Middle-Income Countries, or other applicants who represent minorities not currently well-represented at the Futures Institutes.

The fellowship offers a bursary of 1,500 GBP per month, as well as reimbursement of travel and visa costs, where required.
