- OWRI Fellowships in Languages and Communities<https://modernlanguages.sas.ac.uk/research-fellowships/visiting-fellowships-and-scholarships/owri-fellowships-languages-and>,
- Sylvia Naish Fellowships and Scholarships in Germanic Studies<https://modernlanguages.sas.ac.uk/research-fellowships/visiting-fellowships-and-scholarships/sylvia-naish-fellowships-and-scholarships>, and

Visiting Fellowships and Scholarships are tenable for one to ten months between 1 September 2019 and 30 June 2020.
The Institute offers office accommodation shared with other Fellows and Scholars with wifi, internet, email account, photocopying/printing facilities, and access to the University of London's Senate House Library where the holdings in Germanic Studies and Latin American Studies are world class. Senate House Library has a substantial collection of books, journals, online resources, theses and archives in all the Modern Languages fields. Fellows and Scholars can access the libraries of the other Institutes that make up the School of Advanced Study: Advanced Legal Studies, Classical Studies, Commonwealth Studies, Historical Research, Latin-American Studies, and the Warburg. Fellows are offered free access to all of the Institute's events and are expected to participate as much as possible in the intellectual life of the Institute.
In addition to presenting current work as a seminar or as part of a larger conference, Fellows and Scholars are invited to organise an event either during or resulting from their stay, or otherwise contribute to the work of the Institute. Fellows and Scholars are invited to place a recent, normally unpublished, piece of work in our free open access repository SAS-Space, and to contribute to the IMLR blog, Living Languages. Publications resulting from research conducted during the tenure of the Fellowship must acknowledge the Institute and, where appropriate, a copy should be deposited in Senate House Library or with the Institute Director. At the end of the tenure period, Fellows/Scholars must produce a short report on the activities undertaken at the Institute and progress made in their research.
