Applications are now open for the 2026 University of Melbourne Law School Visiting Fellowship.
Hosted by the Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness, this fully funded two-month fellowship invites global applicants with a research focus or interest in statelessness—a condition in which individuals are not recognized as citizens by any country under its laws.
The fellowship must commence between July and November 2026. There is no application fee, and the program provides AUD $6,000, which covers travel and accommodation costs in Melbourne.
