Dear colleagues and friends,  

 

This is a quick note to bring your attention to the Visiting Fellows scheme run by the Law School at the University here in Queensland. It offers modest financial support for scholars interested in visiting the school for periods between 4-6 weeks. A number of members of the list have taken up the opportunity in the past and if you are interested in applying and would like to know more, please feel free to get in touch.  There are also opportunities outside of this programme for self-funded visits.

Applications to visit as a Visiting Fellow between July-Dec 2023 close on 30^th October 2022.

 

All good wishes,

 

Kit.

Visiting Fellows

A small number of UQ-funded Visiting Fellowships are available for scholars of international standing to undertake visits of 4 to 6 weeks. Financial support of up to AUD 5,000 can be awarded to assist in meeting the costs of economy class travel to and from Brisbane, and accommodation in Brisbane. A detailed budget and the total amount of funding requested are required as part the application. Funds awarded will be made available by way of a reimbursement of duly documented costs.

Visiting Fellow applications need to be submitted by the following deadlines:

• 30 April – with respect to visits commencing January through June of the following year;
• 30 October – with respect to visits commencing July through December of the following year.

The applications will be considered by the School Research Committee and assessed based on the following criteria:

• the applicant’s research track record, relative to opportunity;
• the quality of the planned research project and the expected outcomes;
• the extent to which the applicant would contribute to the intellectual life of the School, including the potential for furthering ongoing links with the School.

Visiting Fellows will be allocated an office or a desk in a shared office (along with computing facilities), and will be given access to the University’s library.
