Research Fellowships

The National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) invites proposals from people who wish to conduct high level research into the national audiovisual collection. This research may take various forms. Amongst other things: an academic may want to write a book or produce a website, a creative artist may wish to create a film, musical composition, dance piece or some other artwork, a curator may wish to create an exhibition, historians, scientists and policymakers may wish to delve into the arcane mysteries of Australia’s audiovisual past.

Scholars and Artists in Residence (SAR) are based in the NFSA’s Residence in Canberra, with fully equipped workspace in the residential quarters. While they do not receive stipends or travel allowances, they have full access to the library, mentored access to the collection, participate in NFSA events and activities and work closely with NFSA curators and technical experts.

Applications for SAR Fellowships are invited for periods of up to eight weeks between February and mid-December 2011.

Applications close on Thursday 30 September 2010 and notifications will commence around Monday 1 November 2010.
