RSH Visiting Fellowships

The newly formed Research School of Humanities has a Visiting Fellowship program to enhance its national and international links with humanities scholars. It builds on the highly successful visiting fellowship program run by one of its key centres, the Humanities Research Centre, for the last 35 years, and now incorporates fellowships offered by other programs/centres of the Research School, the Freilich Foundation, the National Europe Centre and the Australian National Dictionary Centre.

Scholars working within any of the three large research themes/ clusters of RSH are welcome to apply. These are:

Crossing Cultures, Crossing Times
Art, Creativity and Performance
Lives, Literatures, Languages

The applicants’ research should preferably fall within with one or more of the current RSH research platforms operating under the three themes. These include:

Visual Culture, Museums and Collections, Biography and Society, Interdisciplinary Cross-Cultural Studies, Public Memory and Historical Reenactment, Creativity and Human Rights, Philosophy and Literatures, Linguistics and Lexicography, European Studies, and E-humanities.

Visiting Fellows would be expected to participate in the programs of the Research School, meet regularly with other Fellows and students, make public presentations of their research, and avail themselves of other opportunities for scholarly exchange. They are also expected to be in residence for at least 75% of their appointment.

The RSH will fund a number of short-term Visiting Fellows (of up to 12 weeks) to take up residence at the RSH. The funding covers air travel and accommodation for the period of stay. Visiting Fellows will be provided with office space and ANU library facilities.
