The University of Alabama proudly hosts hundreds of visiting scholars each year.
Typically, visiting faculty appointments at the University extend for less than a full calendar year and usually do not involve compensation from the University. Visiting scholars commonly secure funding through personal resources, their home institution, government support, or external grants. To attain visiting professor status, individuals should apply by submitting the Office for Academic Affairs Visiting Scholar Form.
Please note that there are additional requirements for visiting full-time faculty appointments that involve a contract with the home institution as outlined in Section XIV of the Faculty Handbook.
For information about international visiting scholars, visit the Capstone International Center website.
