Future Fellowship applications in Cultural and Social Research

Institute for Culture and Society

The Institute for Culture and Society (ICS) within the University of
Western Sydney (UWS) was launched in 2012. ICS is a major national and
international centre for the pursuit of engaged interdisciplinary
cultural and social research. Rated 5 (“well above world standard”)
for Cultural Studies in the 2010 Excellence in Research for Australia
(ERA) rankings, the Institute coordinates interdisciplinary cultural
research across the humanities and social sciences and connects
Australian cultural and social research to relevant research overseas,
particularly in Asia.

With this last confirmed funding round of Australian Research Council
Future Fellowships (see the website:
http://www.arc.gov.au/ncgp/futurefel/future_default.htm) and a
University commitment of significant new funding, ICS is investing in
leading cultural and social researchers from Australia and overseas by
supporting innovative and outstanding Future Fellowship proposals.
Mid-career researchers 5–15 years post-PhD are eligible to apply.
