As the hub for Chinese studies at ANU, the Australian Centre on China in the World (CIW) facilitates cross-campus, national, and international research and teaching collaborations to promote greater understanding of the Chinese world — the People’s Republic of China, Taiwan, and the Chinese diaspora. CIW is the place to come to understand China and the Chinese world.

The CIW Visiting Fellowship Program brings early and mid-career researchers to the ANU campus to conduct and share research that promotes the study of the Chinese world.

This Fellowship opportunity is for scholars of all academic disciplines who are based in Australian and overseas academic institutions.

Eligibility

• Applicants must have at least a higher degree or equivalent professional experience, research and publications.
• Institutional affiliation to a University or equivalent research or cultural organisation is required.
• Fellowships are for early to mid-career academics (as a guide, this can be considered equivalent ANU Level B – D) 
• Fellowships are open to Australian (non-ANU) and international researchers.

ANU values equity and diversity and is committed to ensuring equal opportunity for all.

This fellowship is not available to independent scholars or to students who are working to complete their higher degree.

Duration

There are two fellowship periods:

1. February – July 2024 (deadline 15 November 2023)
2. August – December 2024 (deadline 15 March 2024)

The minimum fellowship period is six weeks and the maximum is twelve weeks.

Applications must include:

• the visitor’s curriculum vitae (<2 pages);
• a statement, written by the applicant, regarding the purpose and period of the visit, the research and other activities to be undertaken during the visit, and the resulting benefits to CIW and ANU, and the potential research outputs achieved as a result of the fellowship. (<2 pages);
• a supporting statement by the ANU expert sponsoring the visit (<1 page); and
• a budget with details of the requested funding and supporting funding from other sources (<1 page).

Visitors must be sponsored by, and work with, one or more ANU Chinese studies expert.

Value and benefits

Each Visiting Fellow will be provided with:

• AUD$5,000 (domestic-based) and AUD$9,000 (international-based) maximum allowance in costs towards economy-class travel and accommodation in Canberra;
• An ANU office space with computer and printing facilities;
• ANU Library borrowing privileges;
• Access to ANU facilities and events.

Funding will be provided on the basis of reimbursement of expenses (receipts required). Visitors will usually require additional funding from other sources to cover their expenses.

Visitors will be provided with office space, computing/internet services, and limited administrative support.

Expectation

Visiting fellows are expected to make a public presentation of their research in the Centre’s seminar series, contribute to a graduate seminar/Master Class, write a short piece for the China Story and avail themselves of opportunities for scholarly exchange. Visitors are also strongly encouraged to give talks at other Australian research organisations and talks to the general public.
