The University of Melbourne Visiting Fellowship 2027 provides an opportunity for individuals working in the field of statelessness to engage with the Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness. This scheme aims to foster international collaborations and enrich the Centre's research and activities by hosting external experts. Visiting Fellows are offered practical support during their stay, including a dedicated workspace and full access to university library and computer resources. This setup is designed to facilitate their research and collaboration with the Centre's ongoing projects. The fellowship also includes financial assistance to cover travel and accommodation expenses. Participants are expected to actively integrate into the Centre's academic life. This involves presenting their work in a Faculty or public seminar, or a work-in-progress meeting, to share their insights and findings with the wider academic community. Additionally, Fellows are encouraged to contribute a blog post to the Critical Statelessness Studies blog, enhancing the Centre's online presence and dissemination of research. Financial support for the fellowship can be up to $AUD6,000. This funding is intended to offset the costs associated with international travel to Melbourne and accommodation expenses for the duration of the fellowship period. The specific amount awarded will depend on the proposed budget breakdown submitted by the applicant.
Applications are invited from postdoctoral early-career to tenured academics. Non-academic visiting professionals will also be considered if they propose an applied research project relevant to the work of the Centre. Researchers with lived experience of statelessness are strongly encouraged to apply.
