Dorothy Tarrant Fellowship

The Dorothy Tarrant Fellowship is a recently inaugurated fellowship, set up to commemorate the contribution of a pioneering figure in UK classics. The Fellowship is awarded to scholars from universities outside the UK with research interests in any field of classical studies. The successful candidate is expected to spend a minimum of six weeks at the Institute. Applicants are invited to make a proposal for an event or training activity to be carried out at the ICS during their stay. Proposals for events or activities that engage with UK-based classical researchers and/or the national and international subject community are particularly welcome. Fellows receive an allowance of £5000 toward the cost of travel and accommodation.

A list of previous holders of the Dorothy Tarrant Fellowship is available here.

Professor Johannes Baltussen (University of Adelaide) took up his Fellowship in January-February 2023.

It is hoped that Professor Ann Brysbaert (Leiden University) will take up her Fellowship at a future point.

Following a period of suspension during the COVID-19 pandemic, applications were once again invited for this Fellowship for the academic year 2023-24. Dr Manuel Álvarez-Martí-Aguilar (University of Malaga) has been appointed.

Applicants are asked to complete the application form and to send it to the Director with a short CV (4 pages maximum). The deadline for applications will be 14th April.  It is expected that results will be announced before the end of May. Successful candidates are encouraged to speak at events or participate in workshops elsewhere in the UK if invited, and some funds are available to make this possible.
