Fully Funded PhD Fellowship at the University of Western Australia

The Gledden Visiting Fellowships are part of the estate bequeathed to the University by the late Robert John Gledden to promote and encourage education and research at the University in the disciplines of applied science, more particularly relating to surveying, engineering, mining or cognate subjects. These fellowships are awarded to enable researchers who are capable of making a significant contribution to the research effort of the University to undertake a period of collaborative research with a UWA host.

There are two fellowship schemes: 

[1] The Robert and Maude Gledden Senior Visiting Fellowship.

[2] The Robert and Maude Gledden Short Stay Visiting Fellowship.

Both fellowships are open to researchers who have doctoral degrees or equivalent qualifications or experience, and who are mid-career or senior researchers. 

The Senior Visiting Fellowships provide a round trip economy airfare and approximately AUD$1500 per week inclusive of accommodation and a modest living allowance for up to a maximum of 90 days, while the Short Stay Visiting Fellowships provide a maximum of AUD$3000 to assist with travel and accomodation expenses.
