The Apollo Visiting Fellowship 2015
Value: AUS $4,000
Background and Aims: Thanks to the generosity of Alumni of the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences, the Department of Archaeology is able to invite applications for the Apollo Visiting Fellowship. The purpose of the Fellowship is to enable a scholar of Classical Archaeology to come to Sydney to consult with academic experts in their field and to work on their research at the Centre for Classical and Near Eastern Studies of Australia at the University of Sydney for a concentrated period.

Terms and Conditions
The Fellowship is open to scholars of any country who are within five years of the award of their PhD.
The sum of AUS $4,000 is intended to serve as a total contribution toward the costs of travel to and accommodation in Sydney for the period of the Fellowship. The Fellow may determine the length of the stay but will be expected to remain for a minimum of two weeks. The stay should coincide with an academic semester (roughly: March-June; August-November). Office space will be made available for the Fellow in CCANESA. The Fellow will be asked to give a seminar and a lecture.
Please note: The cost of short-term rental accommodation in central Sydney is high by international standards.
