University of Tasmania, Australia

The Visiting Fellowship Programme is an opportunity to live and study in an inspiring setting in Tasmania. There are two primary objectives to the programme: first, to contribute substantially to the lives of residents; and second, to have the time and place to further your own project.

The College provides board and lodging at no charge, with dining rights and all utilities. The Visiting Fellow is expected to attend formal dinners and to give staff and members of the college an opportunity to develop or enrich themselves in his or her area of expertise. This may be done though seminars, lectures, discussion groups etc. Visiting Fellows are asked to acknowledge the College in any publication or exhibition arising from their time in residence. It is expected that the visitor live among us as a friendly and approachable practitioner of his or her discipline.

Preference will be given to applicants whose fellowship includes some involvement with a relevant department of The University of Tasmania. Such arrangements should be developed directly with the department and be included in your application.

Accommodation & Travel

Accommodation is a self-contained flat (a living room and two bedrooms, one of which can be used as a study) with views of the River Derwent. Meals are available in the dining hall, but the flat contains a kitchenette where the visitor may prepare meals at their own expense. The visitor is also responsible for telephone and internet useage charges.

The College cannot assist with travel expenses, but will liaise with individuals and departments of the University with whom the appointee has interests in common.

Applications

Applications for visiting fellowships up to three months during the academic year from March to October are accepted at any time during the year with references. Applicants should send a brief summary of their intended project and a curriculum vitae, including professional referees, to the Principal via secretary@jane.utas.edu.au

The College is under no obligation to offer a Fellowship and will with unfettered discretion make the award to applicants who, in its opinion, are most likely to satisfy the objectives of the program.

Preference will be given to applicants who have not previously participated in this program.
