Call for Applications: for Early and mid-career researchers at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, the University of London, Apply Now
LHub – the Law and the Humanities Hub at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, the University of London, invites applications from early and mid-career researchers who are enthusiasts of Law and the Humanities, for visiting positions for the academic year 2026-2027. The visitor will be affiliated with LHub and contribute to its activity.
The visitorship programme is intended as a highly engaged introductory fellowship aimed at building leadership capacity in Law and the Humanities, which will potentially be continued in the longer-term academic leadership programme of IALS fellowships.
It is a unique opportunity to creatively shape work in Law and the Humanities as it implicates both academia and the general public, foster networks, and benefit from shared involvement in your research.
The programme includes six days of joint work of LHub visitors at IALS, two in each academic term, and a concluding evening. LHub days will typically be on Tuesdays; the first one will take place on October 20, 2026, 10:00-16:30, followed by a welcome reception.
The programme also includes LHub projects and activities. We will support your development of new infrastructural projects in Law and the Humanities. In addition, a significant contribution to the hub’s ongoing activities is expected, in collaboration with LHub director and other partners, to be discussed and agreed upon in advance.
Visitors will enjoy access to libraries and facilities at IALS. They will also be entitled to travel reimbursement, up to £500. The position may be taken alongside any academic position in the UK or abroad.
