Each year, the Philippines Institute offers short-term visiting fellowships for outstanding academics based in the Philippines to undertake research at the ANU for up to two months.

Visiting Fellows will work with the Institute in order to develop new research collaborations and/or deepen existing partnerships within ANU and/or other academics across Australia. Our fellowship scheme supports academics working on projects that strongly align with the Institute’s overall objectives and priority areas:

Strategic studies and foreign policy
Economic resilience;
Gender, women’s empowerment and peace;
The ongoing pursuit of peace, development and political stability in Mindanao;
Other threats to stability such as climate change, food insecurity and the energy crisis;
Rule of law, human rights and judicial governance; and
Governance, politics and political communications.

For this Visiting Fellowship round, we strongly encourage applications from academics who have a track-record for research and engagement on Philippine-ASEAN relations.
