Description
The Australian-American Fulbright Commission awards several Fulbright U.S. Postdoctoral Scholarships each year through its General Category. The scholarships support research in any discipline at host institutions anywhere in Australia. Projects must enhance bilateral relations and embody the Fulbright program’s mission, connecting the proposed research with the relationship between Australia and the United States.
The award places postdoctoral research within Fulbright’s broader goals of binational research collaboration, cultural understanding, and exchange of ideas. Scholars receive support for a six- to eight-month research period, alongside guidance from the Commission before and during their stay. The program also includes support for participation in the Fulbright Orientation and Gala Presentation Dinner. The number of awards depends on available funding.
