Overview
Current Round of AEUIFAI Fellowships
Applications are now invited for Australian European University Institute Fellowships which provide the opportunity to carry out research at the European University Institute in Florence – the high profile research institute established by the Member States of the founding European Communities in 1972.

In addition, one fellowship will be offered for a Visiting (established) Scholar from an Australian university for one month during the period January-June 2011.
Target candidates
The Fellowships are available to postgraduates and early career researchers currently undertaking research in history, law, economics, and social and political sciences who are able to identify a direct benefit for their research from a period of residence at the EUI. The Postgraduate applicants must be at an advanced stage of their research, and the Postdoctoral Fellowship is available to those who have graduated with a PhD qualification within the last five years.
