The Fulbright Postdoctoral Scholarship award enables postdoctoral candidates to undertake research of importance to the University of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia. The development of research within University of Newcastle's four engagement priorities is important to the bilateral relationship between the United States and Australia. It is hoped that this award will provide scholars with an opportunity to contribute to this relationship, and the nominated area of priority that is relevant to the future of our regions and the world. While the University of Newcastle will consider any relevant research proposal, the following four engagement priorities build on the significant track record of success and the strengths of our university, and that reflect the issues and opportunities relevant to the future of our regions and our world: Better, healthier living; Connected communities; Next generation resources; and Growing industries. This may be awarded to Early Academics with a PhD or other terminal degree. This scholarship is open to applicants whose PhD conferral date is January 2021 or later; those with more recently conferred degrees preferred. Applicants must attain their doctorate by the proposed start date of their grant. Applicants must submit a letter of invitation from the host institution. Please contact the University of Newcastle which will facilitate contact with the university to discuss projects and to assist in obtaining the required letter of invitation. Two letters of recommendation are also required. Please visit the award's website or contact the Council for International Exchange of Scholars for more information.
