ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions Distinguished International Visiting Fellowships Program – Call For Applications

ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions Distinguished International Visiting Fellowships Program

Closing date for applications: 14 March 2012

As part of its international research collaboration, ARC Centre of Excellence in the History of Emotions (Europe 1100-1800) (CHE) will fund outstanding international scholars in the field to visit Australian universities and to work with members of the Centre on a research program of their choice.

Visiting fellowships normally last between four weeks and three months. The Distinguished Visiting Fellow will be based at one of the five Australian universities hosting nodes of the Centre (University of Western Australia, University of Adelaide, Melbourne University, Sydney University and University of Queensland), but will normally visit other nodes of the Centre in the course of their stay.

The Fellowship will fund the Visiting Fellow’s return airfare to Australia, accommodation in Australia, and travel between Australian nodes of the Centre. Some living expenses may be negotiated.

CHE is now issuing a call for applications for Distinguished international Visiting Fellowships to be taken over the period 1 January 2013 to December 2014.

Applicants should provide:

  1. An up-to-date academic CV.
  2. A description, no longer than one A4 page, of the proposed research to be undertaken during the Fellowship, including a statement of how the research relates to the Centre’s overall research into the history of emotions in Europe 1100-1800, and the proposed outcomes of the research (eg., part of a monograph draft, draft of an article jointly authored with one or more CHE member(s), development of further research interchange and collaboration programs, and so on). Note: it is expected that ARCCHE support would 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.

Applications should be sent via email to: Dr. Tanya Tuffrey, Centre Manager, ARC CoE for the History of Emotions (Europe 1100-1800) (tanya.tuffrey@uwa.edu.au).
