Visiting Scholars

UCLA invites distinguished scholars from all over the world to teach, lecture, or conduct research on campus. Visiting scholars are senior scholars and distinguished visitors who hold a doctoral degree or the foreign equivalent and who hold an appointment comparable to those of UCLA faculty, and are usually on temporary leave from their universities or research centers. They visit the campus for relatively short periods of time, usually no longer than a year, serve as senior researchers, collaborate on research projects and publications with faculty members, and pursue independent research.

Scholars wishing to work at UCLA should review the information available on the Graduate Division Web site.

Post-Doctoral Scholars
