ADELAIDE UNIVERSITY PROJECT ROUNDS RESEARCH SCHOLARSHIPS (AURS)

Scholarships advertised in the project round are available to Doctor of Philosophy or Master of Philosophy students to undertake a specified research project aligned to one of four Signature Research Themes:

Creative & Cultural

Food, Agriculture & Wine

Personal & Societal Health

Sustainable Green Transition. 

ELIGIBILITY:

Available scholarships will be advertised on the Find a research project webpage from 7 October 2025, and these projects will be clearly marked for consideration as a “Project Round project.”

The application process isn’t the same for all scholarships. The majority of scholarships are offered during the Merit or Project scholarship rounds, whilst those available ‘out of round’ will usually have their own application process and closing dates.

Project round is a multi-stage process:

Identify a project scholarship you wish to apply for on the Find a Research Project webpage (October 2025),

Submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) to the project supervisor (3 November 2025).

If you are the preferred candidate, apply for admission via the Apply for a research degree webpage by 12 December 2025 and include the name of the project you were assessed for.

Application Deadline: November 17, 2025 (11:59 p.m. ET)

LOCATION: USA

Princeton University is pleased to announce the call for applications to the Fung Global Fellows Program at the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies (PIIRS). The program will select early-career scholars from around the world to be in residence at Princeton for an academic year (10 months) and to engage in research and discussion around a common theme. The fellowships will be awarded to those employed outside the United States who have a faculty appointment or a professional research appointment, and they will be expected to return to their positions at the conclusion of the fellowship.

ELIGIBILITY:

Early-career scholars will be appointed at the rank of Visiting Research Scholar. To be eligible, applicants must have received their Ph.D. (or equivalent) generally after September 1, 2016. Candidates who are currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program or employed as postdocs are not eligible to apply.

Fellowships will be awarded to those employed outside the United States who have a faculty appointment or a professional research appointment, and they will be expected to return to their positions at the conclusion of the fellowship.

Fellowships will be awarded to candidates who have already demonstrated outstanding scholarly achievement and exhibit unusual intellectual promise but are still at the beginning of their careers. Criteria for the fellowship include the strength of the candidate’s research projects, the relationship of those projects to the program’s theme, the candidate’s previous scholarly work, the candidate’s ability to contribute to the intellectual life and intellectual exchange of the program, and the candidate’s work experience outside the United States. The selection committee is looking to establish a cohort of fellows whose work represents any region of the world, with any disciplinary background in the humanities and social sciences.

Princeton University is an Equal Opportunity Employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to age, race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
