Go8 European Fellowships

The Group of Eight offers eight annual fellowships to early career researchers in Europe to work in Go8 universities for up to six months. Each Fellowship is worth AUD 20,000.

The Fellowships are open to eligible researchers in Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Bulgaria and Croatia.

The Go8 European Fellowship scheme recognises the importance of international contacts for early career researchers. It is envisaged that Fellows will continue to collaborate with Australian research partners when they return to their home institutions.

You are eligible to apply to be a Fellow if you:

• have completed a PhD less than five years prior to application for the Fellowship;
• are under 40 years of age at the time of application;
• are a citizen of one of the designated countries listed above;
• reside in one of the designated countries listed above (it need not be the same country as your citizenship);
• have been employed (minimum half-time appointment) for at least six months prior to application by a university or research organisation (public or private) in one of the designated countries;
• have sufficient competency in English to be able to adequately communicate with researchers in their host university;
• are eligible to obtain an Australian Visiting Academic Visa (subclass 419) or equivalent Australian visa.

Application process

Candidates are restricted to submitting one application per year. Each application must be supported by an academic supervisor at a Go8 university.

Applications open on 17 August and close on 30 October 2009.

All applicants will be informed of the outcomes in December 2009 with successful candidates expected to commence their fellowships during 2010.
