Visiting Scholars

The AbuSulayman Center occasionally hosts visiting scholars whose research interests and profile coincide closely with the Center’s current projects or strategic priorities, or with the expertise and interests of its faculty. Such visiting affiliations are flexible in terms of length and are best suited to scholars on sabbatical or study leave from their home institutions, or who otherwise have some other source of institutional or fellowship-based funding. While these positions do not provide salaried compensation, stipends may be available in connection with academic activities undertaken by visiting scholars on behalf of the Center. All such affiliations provide access to the university’s facilities and resources (e.g. library, university ID, e-mail account, etc.).

Scholars interested in exploring the possibility of such an affiliation should in the first instance reach out to the Center’s Director, Professor Peter Mandaville (pmandavi@gmu.edu) with an informal letter of inquiry and a CV.
