Research program
The Australian Prime Ministers Centre at the Museum of Australian Democracy awards Fellowships to researchers interested in the history, origins, traditions and contemporary practice of Australian democracy, with special reference to Australian prime ministers.
Fellowship applicants should propose a research, creative, literary or bibliographic project. Projects may draw on relevant collections held in Australia or overseas. Fellows should be established scholars or creative artists with a substantial record of achievement in their field. One Fellowship each year may also be reserved for early career researchers.
The museum also offers a Summer Scholarship program for current students to further their education and increase their research experience. Summer Scholars undertake their research project in Canberra during the summer academic break. Summer Scholarships are open to students undertaking studies at final-year Honours or post-graduate level. Summer Scholars may nominate their own research project, or work on a project set by the museum.
Applications for the 2012-13 round of Fellowships will close on 1 July 2012.
Applications for Summer Scholarships will close on 30 September, 2012.
