Application to ANU as a visiting student, postdoctoral fellow or

To apply for CSC funding to attend ANU as a visiting student, postdoctoral
fellow or scholar, you will first need to find an advisor to oversee your
research at ANU. Please visit the
ANU Researchers website
or contact your proposed Research School or Institute to identify potential
advisors. You should then email potential advisors directly to discuss your
proposed research topic and confirm if they are willing to support your
visit to ANU.
If your proposal is accepted, please discuss with your advisor if there is
any internal application procedure necessary for you to secure a visiting
position within their Research School or College. The Research School or
College will also be able to arrange a formal letter of invitation from ANU
for you, which must be submitted directly to CSC together with the
application form.
Please note that as each College or Research School within ANU has their
own procedure for selecting visiting students and researchers, you should
allow enough time for potential researchers to review your proposal and for
you to supply any other documents required. We recommend contacting
potential advisors as early as possible, but at least 3 months in advance of
the CSC application closing date.
