The University of Canberra has a strong commitment to integrated learning and serving its communities through professional education and applied research. Scholars selected for this award will be required to conduct a research project of the applicant's choosing. The Fulbright Scholar Award (funded by the University of Canberra) will enable exceptional U.S. scholars to undertake research in priority areas for the University of Canberra. All applicants should demonstrate plans for some interaction with host institution faculty and students. The University of Canberra seeks applicants in the following areas: Environment, Governance, Health, Sport, Education, and Communication. Awards are open to Mid-Career Academics and Senior Academics. Awards are open to academics at the level of associate or full professor by the grant start date in the proposed field. If the applicant is not at the level of associate or full professor at the time of application, but will be by grant start, please include information about your career progression and timeline in the personal section of your project statement. Following the review process, short-listed applicants will be invited to a virtual interview with a Fulbright Selection Committee in Australia. A letter of invitation is required. Please contact the University of Canberra to discuss projects, and obtain 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.
