Visiting Academics

A Visiting Academic is an employee of an overseas institution who arranges to visit UQ, for a duration of at least four weeks, with the intention of contributing or sharing research knowledge, by way of collaborative involvement in a research project or guest lecturing.

A visiting academic appointment is an unpaid appointment as the salary is usually still paid by the academic’s home institution. The School of Psychology typically does not meet visitors’ expenses.

Visiting Academics will be entitled to the following:

• a University identification card (to access library and rooms)
• library access
