ATCH Visiting Fellows Program: 2017
University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia
Application deadline: June 1, 2016
The ATCH (Architecture Theory Criticism History) Research Centre invites applications for the Visiting Fellows Program 2017. The program
welcomes applications from scholars with varying levels of experience who are carrying out critical research in architecture.
ATCH is located within the School of Architecture at The University of Queensland (UQ), in Brisbane, Australia. The Centre supports innovative
and interdisciplinary research on the history, theory and criticism of architecture. Architecture and its place within a larger history of
ideas is a strong focus within the Centre. Bringing together Postdoctoral Fellows, Research Fellows, Postgraduates and Academics
from UQ’s School of Architecture, the centre offers a stimulating and rich environment for enquiry and debate. An active program of seminars,
lectures, symposia, workshops and exhibitions is run throughout the year. For a full list of people and recent events please see ATCH
Website.
The Visiting Fellows Research Program supports short term residencies of one to three months for scholars to work on innovative research on
the history, theory and criticism of architecture. Projects that overlap with the work of existing ATCH scholars will be favoured. The
program welcomes applicants from all levels of academia but particularly encourages proposals from new and mid-career scholars.
Visiting Fellowships are not open to postgraduate students.
The Visiting Fellows Research Program will provide a return airfare to Brisbane and a workspace within the centre. All Fellows will have
access to UQ libraries, including the Fryer Library and Architecture and Music Library. Support for accommodation may also be available
depending on the applicant’s financial circumstances.
Visiting Fellows will be required to present their research in progress in a public lecture, participate in seminars and conferences organised
during their residency, and contribute to RHD events. Published outcomes of research undertaken during the Fellowship should
