Postgraduate membership is a category of association designed to support our graduate community in their studies.
Postgraduate members work on American history, politics, or literature, or study the United States in related fields. They are expected to participate in, and contribute to, the Institute's intellectual community by attending academic and social events and (where relevant) using the resources of the Vere Harmsworth Library.
Postgraduate members of the RAI are entitled to: use the kitchen (where tea and coffee are provided); apply for a desk in one of our two postgraduate study rooms on the lower ground floor of the building (for use during Institute opening hours); apply for RAI travel awards in support of primary research (advertised annually in Hilary term); have a profile on the RAI website (subject to a bio and photo being received).
The scheme is open to Oxford D.Phil. and M.Phil. students active in the current academic year.
