Flagship visiting fellowships

National Research Flagship Visiting Fellowships are available for researchers to work in CSIRO in areas directly relevant to a Flagship.

About Flagship Visiting Fellowships

Flagship Visiting Fellowships are available for distinguished researchers to work for a period of time (generally up to six months) in a Flagship to enhance the intellectual leadership of a Flagship or a major component of a Flagship (for example, a Theme).

Fellowships are valued at A$100 000 and are designed to allow Australian or overseas based researchers to be seconded from their home university.

In the case of overseas based researchers, the Fellowship may be used to fund a living allowance during the term of their Fellowship as well as economy class international air travel and minor operating costs.

How to apply

Prospective applicants should:

Flagship Visiting Fellowships allow distinguished researchers to be seconded from their university to undertake a research project with a Flagship.

  1. read the relevant information including the Flagship Visiting Fellowship guidelines
  2. discuss your proposed fellowship application with the nominated Flagship contact before submitting an application
  3. apply using the on-line Flagship Fellowship application form.

Assessment process

Applications will be assessed on the criteria set out in the guidelines, specifically:

  • the quality of the proposed project and the clarity of its outcomes
  • clear alignment with, and relevance to, the work of a Flagship
  • the expertise and track record of the applicant.
