There are 22 new post-doctoral fellowships of 18 months duration at WA universities now open for applications, funded by the Forrest Research Foundation. Applications for this round close Aug. 26th.

One of the areas of priority is Arts and Culture:

Governors have determined that 20% of fellowships will be allocated to the Arts and Culture area, recognising the devastating impact of COVID-19 on this sector. These fellowships will support multi-disciplinary research, which may include creative and performing artists, that explores the impact of arts and culture on, for example: health/mental health; education, community resilience; economic activity.

If you would like to apply for one of these at UWA, please do get in touch asap to discuss your application (sarah.collins@uwa.edu.au).
