Gledden Visiting Senior Fellowship


The new round for Gledden Visiting Senior Fellowships (for dates June 2010 – May 2011) is now open.  

The deadline for submission to the Institute of Advanced Studies is 15 March 2010.

The Gledden Visiting Senior Fellowships are part of the estate bequeathed to the University by the late Robert John Gledden to promote and encourage education and research at the University in the disciplines of applied science, more particularly relating to surveying, engineering, mining or cognate subjects.

As the financial return on investment on which the Fellowship is based had a lower return this year, there will be fewer awards made than in previous rounds and we expect competition to be strong. It is anticipated that approximately ten awards will be made in the new round.

The nomination form and guidelines take into account new requirements by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship for visas. Please note that the visa requirements for academic visitors staying over three months or coming from non ETA countries have substantially changed and can take two to three months to process.

Queries regarding the Fellowship should be directed to the Committee Chair, Professor Terri-ann White or Executive Officer, Susan Takao. They can be best reached at ias@uwa.edu.au .
