Become a Research Fellow
Research Fellows are established practitioners and academics whose published work shows care with sources, clear method and honest conclusions. The designation is granted only through review.
Who a Research Fellow is
A Research Fellow already has a body of published work in the Vedic sciences — papers, articles, books or a sustained record of teaching and practice — and wants to carry that work forward within the Centre. Fellows lead research, publish under the Centre's standards, and help review the work of others.
What reviewers look for
- Published work that names its sources — text, verse, edition or data
- A clear method that a reader could follow and check
- Interpretation kept distinct from what the texts say
- Forecasts recorded with their date and basis, and revisited honestly
- A research proposal that fits the Centre's research areas
What a Fellow does
- Leads or joins research projects of the Centre
- Publishes in The Divine Codes and the research archive
- Reviews submissions in their area when invited
- Mentors Research Scholars where they can

Senior Research Fellows
Senior Research Fellow is granted by invitation of the Board to Fellows who lead projects, mentor others and publish regularly. It cannot be applied for directly.
Fees
There is no fee to apply and no fee during the founding phase. If a participation fee is introduced later, it will be announced in advance and kept entirely separate from selection: no designation can ever be bought.
