RSH Visiting Fellowships Program
Research School of the Humanities, The Australian National University

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 annual three large research themes/ clusters of RSH are welcome to apply.
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.
Deadline: February

Visiting Fellowships
The Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities University of Cambridge

The Centre invites applications for Fellowship places for each academic year. It is anticipated that we can offer up to five fellowships per term.
The Visiting Fellowship Scheme is designed to dovetail with the Centre's theme - which for 2007-09 will be Cultural Transmission and Disciplinary Change. Visiting Fellowships can be awarded for periods of nine weeks in any one Cambridge term (term dates are available here), during which Fellows are expected to be in residence in Cambridge. Visiting Fellows take regular part in and contribute to the Centre's programme of events, which consists of weekly work-in-progress seminars and a reading group. At the end of their visit, Fellows submit a short report to the Management Committee outlining their achievements during their stay and should acknowledge CRASSH in any publication that results in whole or in part from their visit.
Applicants to the Visiting Fellowship scheme should have an established record of scholarly excellence and a demonstrated enthusiasm for working in an interdisciplinary or multi-disciplinary environment. Please note, the scheme is not designed for those beyond the normal retirement age or to support post-doctoral study.
Deadline: October
