2012 Visiting Fellowship at Australian National University (ANU)

Overview

The Humanities Research Centre was established in 1972 as a national and international centre for excellence in the Humanities and a catalyst for innovative Humanities scholarship and research within the Australian National University. The HRC interprets the "Humanities" generously, recognising that new methods of theoretical enquiry have done much to break down the traditional distinction between the humanities and the interpretive social sciences; recognising, too, the importance of establishing dialogue between the humanities and the natural and technological sciences, and the creative arts. The Centre encourages interdisciplinary and comparative work, and seeks to take a provocative as well as supportive role in relation to existing humanities studies in Australia. It aims to give special attention to topics and disciplines which stand in need of particular stimulus in Australia. One of its central functions is to bring to Australia scholars of international standing who will provoke fresh ideas within, and beyond, the academic community. The HRC also has extensive contacts with many other Australian and international research centres, libraries and other cultural institutions, and is a member of the Consortium of Humanities Centers & Institutes (CHCI), Duke University.

The Humanities Research Centre is part of the RSHA, in the College of Arts and Social Sciences. Its Visiting Fellowship program will provide funding (travel to Canberra and accommodation for up to 12 weeks) to support scholars to work within the larger Research School environment.

Visitors are expected to vacate their residence if they are away for 7 days or more during their fellowships.
• Visiting Fellowships (with partial grant). These are intended for scholars within Australia and New Zealand who wish to undertake research at the HRC. These grants are to assist with travel expenses.
• Visiting Fellow (without grant). Academic staff from the Australian National University, other universities and cultural institutions may apply to use the facilities at the HRC and contribute to its intellectual life during their periods of research leave (e.g. sabbatical). These awards do not provide financial assistance, and are dependent on the availability of office space in the Centre.
• Visiting Fellow Freilich Foundation (with grant). The standard period of tenure for Freilich Visiting Fellowships is twelve weeks. The grant covers travel and accommodation. The maximum contribution for travel is $3,000 AUD. Accommodation is in a one bedroom self contained apartment on the university campus.

A higher qualification in molecular and cellular biology will, therefore, prepare graduates for leading positions in all areas where in-depth knowledge of biological processes is required - be it in academia, industry or the public sector.


Application and Admission

The minimal requirement for admission into the Graduate School is a university degree from an internationally accredited university that would allow the applicant to enter a PhD program in biosciences in the country where the degree was awarded.

15 PhD fellowships available!

Within the framework of the cooperative Graduate program (Graduiertenkolleg) "Disease models and drugs" up to 15 PhD fellowships will be awarded to outstanding PhD candidates

Israel: Fulbright Post-Doctoral Fellowships in the U.S

Overview

The United States-Israel Educational Foundation (USIEF) plans to award ten grants to American post-doctoral scholars who are about to begin a program of research at Israeli institutions of higher education which will commence during the 2012/2013 academic year. The total length of the proposed program of work in Israel must be at least two academic years (20 months net in Israel).

The Fulbright award totals $40,000, $20,000 per academic year. Fulbright funding supplements basic post-doctoral stipends provided by Israeli host institutions.

This program is open to post-doctoral researchers in all academic disciplines.

USIEF awards are granted on the basis of academic excellence, the leadership promise of the applicant, and the potential of the proposed visit to both advance knowledge and enhance mutual understanding between the peoples of the U.S. and Israel.

The Foundation gives preference to applicants who have not had significant prior professional experience in Israel.

Knowledge of Hebrew is helpful but not required, except as necessary for the conduct of proposed research projects.

Post-doctoral fellows must be hosted by an accredited Israeli institution of higher education. For the complete list of accredited institutions, click here.


Each candidate should try to arrange his/her institutional affiliations in Israel independently, including development of the program of work for the proposed visit, through contacts with possible host institutions. If assistance is required, USIEF will attempt to help candidates to identify suitable host institutions.

Candidates should take into account that, according to USIEF policy, host institutions will be required to provide to the program fellows a grant no smaller than their own usual basic post-doctoral award, in addition to USIEF’s grant. Thus, candidates should submit applications for post-doctoral stipends to potential host institutions, in parallel to presentation of their candidacy for Fulbright fellowships. Host institution awards vary from university to university. The Fulbright award in every case will be $40,000 - $20,000 per academic year, for two academic years (20 months net in Israel).

A letter from an Israeli researcher, expressing at least preliminary interest in hosting the candidate, must be included among the materials submitted to the Council for International Exchange of Scholars (CIES) by the August 1 application deadline. A formal hosting commitment, including the commitment to provide financial support, must be received by USIEF from the host institution in November 2011 in order for a candidate to be evaluated in the final stage of the grant allocation process. Please quote scholarization as your reference when applying for this scholarship.

Grant Benefits

USIEF stipend of $40,000 ($20,000 per academic year for two years), payable in dollars. In addition, each grantee will receive from his/her host institution a grant no smaller than its own basic post-doctoral award.

Limited health insurance for the grantee only
Orientation meeting in Israel and other grantee events during the course of the academic year

Eligibility Criteria

- Applicants must be U.S. citizens; permanent resident status is not sufficient.
Candidates must be planning to begin a period of post-doctoral research at an accredited institution of higher education in Israel during the course of the 2012/2013 academic year.

- Candidates must be planning to conduct post-doctoral research in Israel for a period of at least two academic years (20 months net).
- Candidates who have received a Fulbright Student Fellowship are not eligible to begin a visit to Israel as Post-Doctoral Fellows until five years have passed from the conclusion of their stay abroad as Student Fellows. See the regulations regarding repeat fellowships in the Fellowships section above. Further information may be found on the CIES website.

-Candidates must be in good health. All applicants selected for a Fulbright grant are required to submit a Medical History and Examination Report before their grants can be activated.

These training objectives provide the basis for Fellows’ evaluation of their initial training needs and progress throughout the year, as well as the supervisors’ evaluations of each Fellow’s progress. This general outline of learning objectives is adapted to the Fellow’s particular learning goals during formulation of a training plan at the beginning of the Fellowship year. Below are the six general competency areas:

1. Theories and Effective Methods of Psychological Assessment, Diagnosis, and Interventions
2. Consultation, Program Evaluation, Supervision, and/or Teaching
3. Strategies of Scholarly Inquiry
4. Organization, Management, and Administration Issues Pertinent to Psychological Service Delivery and Practice, Training, and Research
5. Professional Conduct; Ethics and Law; and Other Standards for Providers of Psychological Services
6. Issues of Cultural and Individual Diversity that are Relevant to All of the Above

The structure of the VA Boston Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship Program follows a multiple practice format as defined by APA’s Policy Statements and Implementing Regulations. The Fellowship Program is organized into two separate areas:

1. the substantive traditional practice area of Clinical Psychology, and
2. the specialty practice area of Clinical Neuropsychology.

Within the Clinical Psychology Training Program, we offer training in six areas of emphasis (“tracks”):

1. Geropsychology
2. General Mental Health
3. Medical Psychology
4. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
5. Returning Veterans and Substance Use
6. Substance Abuse.

Both Training Programs exist within the overarching structure of the Fellowship Program and are independently accredited by APA. Our next accreditation site visit will be in 2015.

During the 2011-2012 training year, the VA Boston Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship Program anticipates it will provide training for nine full-time Fellows in the traditional practice of Clinical Psychology. We will also provide funding for one full-time Fellow in Clinical Neuropsychology – Polytrauma Emphasis.

Stipend

The stipend for a first year postdoctoral fellow is $46,176 before taxes. The stipend for a second year postdoctoral fellow is $48,672.
