John H. Dunning visiting fellowship

At the Dunning Centre for International Business at the Henley Business School, University of Reading

We are pleased to announce the John H. Dunning visiting fellowship programme for the 2025-26 academic year, hosted by the Dunning Centre for International Business at the Henley Business School, University of Reading.

The visiting fellowship programme is aimed at creating opportunities for researchers at the mid- and early stages of their career to visit and collaborate with academics at the Centre.

Visiting fellows are normally expected to give at least one seminar, and to visit at least once over the academic year (between September and June), for up to 2 weeks. They will be entitled to refer to themselves as a 'Dunning Fellow'. The idea is to develop long-term collaborations with Dunning Centre members.

Dunning Fellows are expected to be actively engaged in the field of international business (broadly defined), and with an inclination towards multi-disciplinary and theory-driven research, in the tradition of John Dunning.

Applicants must have completed their PhD and should be actively engaged in research, either at a university or a research organisation. The fellowship is targeted towards individuals who have a track record of publications in refereed journals, and but not as yet ‘established’ (i.e., early- or-mid-career). For more senior applicants, consider the Alan Rugman Memorial Visiting Scholar Fellowship.

Interested parties should submit by email to dunning@henley.ac.uk:

1. A research proposal, indicating expected output associated with the fellowship. Please be very clear on how specific collaborations with our staff will help these plans. We suggest you contact the staff members with whom you would like to work with, to explore potential research collaborations beforehand;

2. A detailed CV, listing publications;

3. A cover letter indicating how the applicants will benefit from an association with the Dunning Centre and its members and fits with the values and research tradition of the Reading School.

The Dunning Fellowship covers most costs associated with flights and accommodation, but these resources are limited. Applicants are encouraged to seek supplementary resources from other sponsors.

Applications should be addressed to Rajneesh Narula at dunning@henley.ac.uk, and need to be received by 27 June 2025.
