The Fulbright Distinguished Chair in Science, Technology, and Innovation (CSIRO) will conduct innovative scientific research related to critical challenges facing the U.S. and Australia. During their term, the Chair will work on a specific research project aligned with priority areas of research for CSIRO that will lead to ongoing collaborative partnerships between Australia and the U.S. The Chair will also be expected to engage in outreach and networking activities within CSIRO and across the Australian Innovation system through occasional guest lectures, seminars and/or community interactions. CSIRO will consider proposals to conduct research in areas that are aligned to our strategic research directions. Candidates must identify a CSIRO Business Unit to host their research visit, from the following: Food and Agriculture; Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness; Data61; Energy; Health and Biosecurity; Land and Water; Manufacturing; Minerals Resources; National Collections and Marine Infrastructure; Oceans and Atmosphere; and Space and Astronomy. Projects that are relevant to more than one Business Unit are encouraged, but a Primary host Business Unit must be identified. The award will be awarded to Senior Academics with PhD or other terminal degree. This award is open to senior academics at the level of associate or full professor by the grant start date with a distinguished career in the proposed field. If they are not at the level of associate or full Professor at the time of application, but will be by grant start, they must include information about their career progression and timeline in the personal section of their project statement. Applicants must submit a letter of invitation from the host institution. Please contact your CSIRO contacts and colleagues to request a letter of invitation. Two letters of recommendation are also required. Please visit the award's website or contact the Council for International Exchange of Scholars for more information.
