Information for Visiting Scholars

Thank you for your interest in becoming a visiting scholar in the UNM Department of Linguistics. We welcome applications from qualified scholars with interests that are compatible with our faculty. Prospective visiting scholars should send an email to the department chair including the following information:

  1. a description of the project they want to work on
  2. which faculty member(s) they want to work with
  3. the approximate dates that they wish to visit
  4. their CV (as an attached PDF file)

All applications from prospective visiting scholars are reviewed and voted on by the entire department faculty, normally at our monthly faculty meeting during the academic year. For international scholars who the department agrees to host, please note that a minimum of two months are required to process immigration paperwork. There is a $220 charge for scholars requiring a visa. For further information, please visit the website of UNM’s International Student and Scholar Services.
