The University of Westminster has a proud tradition of global collaboration. We ranked 28th in the world for International Outlook in the Times Higher Education Young University Rankings, and are committed to engaging with world-class, internationally recognised scholars.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.leverhulme.ac.uk\/visiting-professorships\">Leverhulme Trust Visiting Professorships<\/a>\u00a0may last for between 3 and 12 months, and tenures of 6 months or more can be spread over 2 or more visits.<\/p>\n<p>We encourage you to talk to your leading international colleagues about putting in an expression of interest at Westminster. As there are likely to be more applications than the University can support, to apply, eligible\u202fapplicants for this scheme must first submit an Expression of Interest to the University, via\u202fthis\u00a0proforma,\u202fdescribing their\u00a0proposed programme of activities\u00a0and why they have selected the University of Westminster as their host institution. Successful\u202fcandidates will be supported by Westminster through the\u00a0Leverhulme Trust\u00a0application process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"a_b_50a7110f a_b_50a7110f root-100 CanvasZone row CanvasZone--alignment CanvasZone--noMargin CanvasZone--read\">\n<div class=\"g_b_50a7110f f_b_50a7110f\">\n<div class=\"a_c_50a7110f k_c_50a7110f CanvasSection CanvasSection-col CanvasSection-sm12 CanvasSection--read CanvasSection-xl6\">\n<div id=\"b5f2e2b8-9856-40c7-aa2e-cf194c959364\" class=\"ControlZone ControlZone--clean a_a_50a7110f\">\n<div class=\"ControlZone--control\">\n<div class=\"rte-webpart rte-margin-bottom rte-webpart-inlineImageHidden\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"cke_editable rte--read ckeditable_removeMargin highlightFocusFix cke_editable rteEmphasis root-101\">\n<p id=\"applications-will-be-considered-in-all-subject-areas-except\"><strong>Applications will be considered in all subject areas except:<\/strong><i class=\"c_a_1310c973 css-117\"><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>studies of disease, illness and disabilities in humans and animals<\/li>\n<li>research that is intended to inform clinical practice or the development of medical\u00a0applications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"a_c_50a7110f k_c_50a7110f CanvasSection CanvasSection-col CanvasSection-sm12 CanvasSection--read CanvasSection-xl6\">\n<div id=\"759157dc-ae37-46e4-817d-7dbb26fd7994\" class=\"ControlZone ControlZone--clean a_a_50a7110f\">\n<div class=\"ControlZone--control\">\n<div class=\"rte-webpart rte-margin-bottom rte-webpart-inlineImageHidden\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"cke_editable rte--read ckeditable_removeMargin highlightFocusFix cke_editable rteEmphasis root-101\">\n<p id=\"the-criteria-for-selection-are\"><strong>The criteria for selection are:\u00a0<\/strong><i class=\"c_a_1310c973 css-117\"><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the academic standing and achievements of the visitors in terms of their research and\/or teaching<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>their potential for making a substantial contribution to skills in the host\u00a0institution<\/li>\n<li>the specific and systematic nature of the proposed programme while in the UK<\/li>\n<li>fit with\u00a0UoW\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westminster.ac.uk\/sites\/default\/public-files\/general-documents\/Strategy-for-Research-Development-and-Support-2018-2023.pdf\">research strengths and strategy<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"a_b_50a7110f a_b_50a7110f root-100 CanvasZone row CanvasZone--alignment CanvasZone--noMargin CanvasZone--read\">\n<div class=\"g_b_50a7110f f_b_50a7110f\">\n<div class=\"a_c_50a7110f m_c_50a7110f CanvasSection CanvasSection-col CanvasSection-sm12 CanvasSection--read CanvasSection-xl12\">\n<div id=\"ebfb7dcf-de70-4efd-8d60-bb6fda6806e0\" class=\"ControlZone ControlZone--clean a_a_50a7110f\">\n<div class=\"ControlZone--control\">\n<div class=\"rte-webpart rte-margin-bottom rte-webpart-inlineImageHidden\">\n<div class=\"cke_editable rte--read ckeditable_removeMargin highlightFocusFix cke_editable rteEmphasis root-101\">\n<p>Successful candidates will need to demonstrate in their CV a clear research trajectory and international standing in their field.<\/p>\n<p>All applicants will need to identify a University of Westminster supporter\u202fprior to submitting their application and should discuss the proposal with them.
