Measuring bushfire fuels is important to many different people for so many different reasons;

Applying for a Churchill Fellowship







A Churchill Fellowship is a remarkable opportunity to travel overseas for a minimum of four and a maximum of about six weeks to conduct research into a topic that you are passionate about. It is for anyone who feels that they have exhausted all research opportunities within Australia and would like to see what overseas currently has to offer. Every application is assessed based on merit, a demonstrated need for the proposed research, the perceived benefit to Australia and a willingness to share the overseas findings and knowledge with the Australian community.

Australian Citizens over the age of 18 can apply for a Churchill Felllowship provided they can demonstrate a suitable level of achievement in the field of the proposed project. 

Applications open on 1 November each year and close on the last business day of February in the following year.

Every year varies slightly but nationally the Trust typically receives close to 1,200 applications per year and awards around 100 Fellowships per year.

If successful you must depart on the Fellowship during the 12 months from 1 September in the year of award until 31 August of the following year.
