GUIDELINES FOR DOMESTIC VISITING SCHOLARS
AT NCIS
Funding:
NCIS provides a fixed annual budget for the Visiting Scholar
scheme. Funding for Visiting Scholars will normally will be
on a 50:50 basis between NCIS and another University entity
such as a College and will normally include travel to Canberra,
accommodation at ANU and a weekly gratuity which may be varied
upwards to $25.
Selection: At the beginning of each year NCIS
will canvass ANU staff recommendations for the names of possible
Visiting Scholars. Recommendations by ANU staff will imply a
willingness on the part of the sponsor (as well as NCIS) to
mentor and/or host the Visiting Scholar. Potential scholars
will be invited, in conjunction with their sponsor, to apply
to NCIS via the online application procedure. Consideration
will be given to possible Visiting Scholars coming from outside
academia e.g. environmental experts or community managers. NCIS
may offer positions to Indigenous PhD students thought likely
to benefit from a few weeks in a particular ANU centre.
Program: The
Visiting Scholar will work closely with their sponsor on a nominated
project. Scholars' activities may include lectures, seminars,
meeting students and staff, presentations and production of
academic papers. The period will be normally be between two
to four weeks, but may be extended. Visiting Scholars will provide
a Final Report on conclusion of their visit, publishable on
the NCIS website.
