Overview of the Gledden Fellowships

The Gledden Visiting 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.  

Fellowships are awarded to enable researchers who are capable of making a significant contribution to the research effort of the University to undertake a period of collaborative research with a UWA host.

There are two fellowship schemes: the Robert and Maude Gledden Senior Visiting Fellowship, and, the Robert and Maude Gledden Short Stay Visiting Fellowship. 

Fellowships are intended to support research with a UWA-based scholar and all applications must be lodged by a UWA-based host.
