Join CAPPE as a visiting researcher

CAPPE welcomes applications from both early career and established scholars to join us as visiting researchers every academic year. Visits may be from a few days to several months: past examples of visits and the visiting researcher application process may be found on our blog site.

We are happy to work with prospective colleagues seeking institutional or other funding; and may be able to offer limited financial support in certain cases, especially where access to other funding is limited.

CAPPE also works in conjunction with the School of Humanities and Social Science to organise exchange schemes which offer University of Brighton Staff and postgraduate students working in the areas of philosophy, ethics and political philosophy the opportunity to travel to and work at two partner institutions; Radboud University, Nijmegen, Netherlands and University of Ghent, Belgium.
