Visiting Scholar

We recruit and assign suitable institutions according to the goals and needs of researchers from all over the world visiting North America for visiting research purposes.

​

In academia, a visiting scholar, visiting researcher, visiting fellow, visiting lecturer, or visiting professor is a scholar from an institution who visits a host university to teach, lecture, or perform research on a topic for which the visitor is valued. In many cases, the position is not salaried because the visitor is salaried by their home institution (or partially salaried, as in some cases of sabbatical leave from Worldwide universities). Some visiting positions are salaried.

​

Typically, a visiting scholar may stay for a couple of months or even a year, though the stay can be extended. Typically, a visiting scholar is invited by the host institution, and it is not unusual for them to provide accommodation. Such an invitation is often regarded as recognizing the scholar's prominence in the field. Attracting prominent visiting scholars often allows permanent faculty and graduate students to cooperate with prominent academics from other institutions, especially foreign ones.
