Have you a colleague at Harvard University you would like to invite to UWA in 2010?

Australia-Harvard Fellowships are aimed at innovators who are normally based at Harvard and have a persuasive plan to collaborate with Australia’s best science/technology researchers and educators.

The Fellowships are offered by the Harvard Club of Australia Foundation, which supports learned exchange between Harvard University and Australia.  The Foundation seeks to attract applicants whose work will bring clear benefit to Australia as well as the University.

A working visit of several months is normally envisaged, during which Fellows are encouraged to interact additionally with educators and students in their vicinity.

An option favoured by some senior applicants is a shorter visit but one that enables them to take a primary role in a seminar or instructional course open to numbers of Australians working in the applicant’s specialised field.

Another option is the opportunity to undertake longer studies, for example, of sabbatical duration. Australia-Harvard Fellowship grants are donated to the host Australian institutions, which then administer the funds on standard terms.

Further Information is on the Harvard Club’s website .

Guidelines are also available or contact the Fellowship Secretary, John Turner, via telephone on +61 2 9328 2366 or email .

Deadline : Applications for the 2010 awards close on 18 September 2009.

Successful applicants will be notified by the end of December.

Please notify Debbie Thackray if you intend to apply.
