Visiting Scholars

Policy

From time to time senior scholars and distinguished visitors wish to pursue collaborative research or advanced study at UCSD. Such persons are appointed as Visiting Scholars and are supported from sources outside the University. Visiting Scholars may not hold any other appointment or be employed by UCSD.

University facilities are made available to appointed Scholars holding doctoral degrees or their foreign equivalents. Visitors who have received the doctorate within the past five years should be appointed as Postdoctoral Fellows.

Visiting Scholar status is not limited to a specific period of time.
