Visiting Fellows Program

The ANU College of Law Visiting Fellows Program welcomes leading academics, practitioners and policy-makers from around the world to Australia’s national law school. Our Visiting Fellows enjoy the opportunity to engage with our faculty of accomplished legal and interdisciplinary scholars and conduct collaborative or individual research projects within an intellectually vibrant research community.

  • The Academic Stream invites applications from field leaders, mid-career and emerging scholars from global law faculties. Field leaders will usually have 20+ years of experience, mid-career scholars 5-15 years and emerging scholars will have 1-5 years experience in the nominated research field.
  • The Practitioners Stream welcomes high profile practitioners and policy makers from organisations with global impact.

    • Typically, the duration of fellowships will be for a period of 3, 6, or 9 weeks.

  • Visiting Fellows are hosted full-time on the ANU campus throughout the duration of the program and have access to office space, ANU libraries and other College resources.
  • The program also offers funding for travel and accommodation costs.
  • You can submit an EOI at any time of the year.

    • The College research committee will next meet in the new year to consider the next round of applications for visits in the second half of 2025. Thereafter, applications may be reviewed on a rolling basis.
