ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions – Call for Distinguished International Visiting Fellows

As part of its international research collaboration, CHE will fund outstanding international scholars in the field to visit one or more of the Australian nodes for a period of between four weeks and two months, to work with members of the Centre on a research program of their choice

Since the object of the Visiting Fellowships is primarily to promote collaborative research, the Fellows will not be required to undertake any undergraduate teaching, but will be required to deliver at least one paper or lecture.

The Fellow will be provided with a return airfare from their home to Australia, accommodation, and travel between Australian nodes of the Centre. A contribution to living expenses may be negotiated.

Intending applicants are eligible to apply if they are based at a university outside Australia (note: this includes Australian citizens currently working at universities outside Australia).

CHE is now issuing a call for applications for Distinguished International Research Fellowships, to be taken over the period 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2016.

Applicants should provide:

  1. An up-to-date academic CV of no more than 6 pages.
  2. A description, no longer than two A4 pages, of the proposed research to be undertaken during the Fellowship, including a statement of how the work relates to the Centre’s overall research into the history of emotions in Europe 1100-1800, the program into which your work falls, and the proposed outcomes of the research (e.g. draft of an article, perhaps jointly authored with one or more CHE member(s), development of further research interchange and collaboration activities). It is expected that CHE support will be acknowledged in any publication deriving from the Fellowship.
  3. The name(s) of CHE staff with whom the applicant wishes to collaborate, the preferred dates of the fellowship, and the preferred ‘home’ university for the duration of the visit. (It is hoped that successful applicants will take the opportunity to develop research associations with members of the Centre. Applicants are encouraged to seek advice on their proposed projects from appropriate CHE personnel.)
