COMPAS Associates

Research Associateships at COMPAS are open to academics, practitioners and policy makers who may require association with COMPAS to support work on a designated task or project connected to the Centre’s own  research. We also accept applications from those with expertise related to a particular COMPAS cluster theme or as recognition of significant contribution to the Centre’s development.  

Associateships are usually held for one academic year or a specified period of time (e.g. the length of a project), although this period can be extended where the contribution continues to be useful.  We are happy to consider external applications for Research Associate Status, but applicants must have a senior member of COMPAS staff willing to act as link-person. This link-person will be responsible for submitting your application to the relevant Management Committee meeting (once each term) for approval.
