Within the Institute
At the core of the Institute is a group of Fellows, in residence for periods ranging from two to ten months and working on individual research programmes, often in conjunction with individuals and groups across the College. All our postdoctoral Fellows have support from a mentor who will be a world leading academic working in a related field. Fellows make public presentations of their work and are expected to publish the results in due course. We aim to stay in touch with Fellows after they leave, to see how their stay at IASH has benefited them as they develop their careers in research, in academia, or elsewhere.
IASH also supports programmes of work, led by research groups based in the different Schools, which aim to strengthen Edinburgh’s international networks and trigger new collaborations across borders.
