Fulbright Scholar Award

Funded by the University of Technology Sydney

About the Award

The Fulbright Scholar Award (funded by the University of Technology Sydney) enables exceptional U.S. scholars to undertake research at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS). This award is open to academics at the level of associate professor and full professor, providing awardees with the opportunity to contribute to the bilateral relationship between Australia and the United States.

In addition to conducting research, awardees are encouraged to collaborate with UTS faculty and students through activities such as consulting on curriculum, participating in graduate/faculty seminars, or giving guest lectures or workshops. Applications should demonstrate plans for such activities. Please note that paid work cannot be undertaken in Australia while on a Fulbright Scholarship in accordance with visa regulations, and thus awardees cannot teach intensive seminars or coursework.
