Research Themes:
Each year the National Europe Centre and the Research School of Humanities announce broad research themes. Applications from scholars interested in these themes from any discipline are welcome. Please note that while priority is accorded to applications addressing these themes, proposals outside these themes will also be considered.
Conditions of Fellowship:
If successful, Visiting Fellows must be in residence at the Australian National University throughout the duration of their fellowship.
The Visiting Fellowship offer does not constitute an offer of employment with the University.

Visiting Fellows are invited to participate in the Centre’s outreach and teaching activities, including the seminar series, roundtables, workshops, conferences, the European Studies Summer School and the Graduate Intensive Course.
