Visiting Scholars The Visiting Scholar Program extends specified courtesy titles and privileges to scholars of distinction who visit the Center for European and Mediterranean Studies at New York University in order to engage in research and scholarship. Visiting scholars are considered guests of the University and CEMS, who may visit for a temporary period of up to one year (renewable). The visiting scholar title may be granted to scholars who hold academic appointments elsewhere, to scholars who have no academic affiliation (e.g., who are independent private scholars, government officials, business people or scientists employed by corporations), or to younger scholars who are sufficiently proficient in their disciplines to be accepted as colleagues by the University's faculty, but who have yet to obtain academic appointments that would qualify them for other courtesy titles.
Visiting scholars may participate in colloquia, audit classes, consult members of the faculty, use University Libraries, and obtain a membership at the NYU Sports Center. The University does not provide assistance with housing or visa related matters other than the issuance of certificates of eligibility for the J-1 Exchange Visitor Visa by the Office of International Students and Scholars. CEMS can, however, provide informal assistance to its visiting scholars, to the extent of its abilities.
Visiting scholars are obligated to participate in the Visiting Scholars Forum by attending the scheduled sessions and by presenting original research work at one of them. Participation in other seminars or activities organized by CEMS may also be requested. If desired, visiting scholars can make themselves available for voluntary consultations with students or to provide informal counseling.
As non-employees, visiting scholars are not entitled to salary, housing, or benefits other than those privileges cited above. Visiting scholars covered by this program may not in any way perform in the role of an employee at New York University. The University can revoke the title or any privileges at any time, in its sole discretion. This title may not be granted for the purpose of providing free courses or other privileges to graduate or post-graduate students, or for the sole purpose of providing library privileges.
If you wish to be considered for a visiting scholar position at the Center for European and Mediterranean Studies for the upcoming academic year, application materials are due by April 15 and replies will be sent out after June 1.
