International Visiting Research Fellowships - The University of Sydney

International Visiting Research Fellowships

CLOSING DATES TO RESEARCH OFFICE:
5:00 PM SYDNEY TIME, 30 MAY 2008 for travel between August 2008 and August 2009

The University of Sydney International Visiting Research Fellowships are offered to researchers of high standing at any stage in their career to share and disseminate new and original ideas and/or techniques, initiate and undertake collaborative research and facilitate interaction and training of University staff and students. Visiting fellows are expected to make a substantial contribution to the academic life of the University. Applicants and their University of Sydney host researcher must have an outstanding track record relative to opportunity. Successful applicants are expected to be based full-time at the University for the duration of the Fellowship. Applications from returning expatriate Australians are encouraged.

Assessment Criteria
Excellence will be the primary criterion. The selection committee will consider the track records relative to opportunity of the applicant and of the host researcher, the proposed research, and the benefits to the University arising from the collaboration, with each criterion equally ranked. Preference will be given to visiting researchers who do not already have a well-established research collaboration with the University of Sydney. If visiting researchers have an existing research collaboration with the University, then the application must detail how the proposed research is new and different from the existing collaboration.
