Fulbright Scholar Award (funded by the University of Technology Sydney)

The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) is committed to the development of impact-driven research that benefits industry and the broader community – helping shape the world we live in. UTS is Australia’s top-ranked young university in Australia, in the Times Higher Education ‘Top 150 under 50’ (2015–2019) and QS ‘Top 50 under 50’ rankings schemes (2016–2020).

The development of research areas is important to the bi-lateral relationship between the United States and Australia. It is hoped that this award will provide scholars with an opportunity to contribute to this relationship, and to key research areas at UTS.

Other activities may include consulting on curriculum, participating in graduate/faculty seminars, and giving guest lectures. All applicants should demonstrate plans for some interaction with UTS faculty and students. Scholars should not teach intensive seminars or coursework but should demonstrate plans for some interaction with UTS.
