An opportunity- 2015 Pacific Research Colloquium Scholarships Each year, the State Society and Governance in Melanesia (SSGM) Program brings early career social science researchers from across the Pacific (including Papua and Timor-Leste) to a 2 week intensive workshop on developing skills necessary for social science research in the Pacific. We call this workshop the Pacific Research Colloquium. We are offering a limited number of scholarships to early-career researchers from across the Pacific to participate in the 2015 Pacific Research Colloquium in Canberra, which will take place from 26 January to 6 February 2015. Participants will develop research skills by working with some of the top Pacific studies scholars in Australia. To apply you need to: • Be currently undertaking social science research; • Be doing research on, or applicable to, the Pacific; • Hold a passport & be eligible for an Australian visa. You do not need to be a university graduate to apply. Each scholarship will provide payment of full travel costs to and from Canberra, plus accommodation and living expenses for the duration of the stay. Early career Australian and New Zealand researchers doing social science research in relation to the Pacific, Papua or Timor-Leste may also apply to attend the Pacific Research Colloquium on a self-funded basis. Examples of social science research fields include anthropology, development studies, political science or public administration, gender studies, geography, sociology, Pacific Studies, public health, or law. The 2015 Pacific Research Colloquium program will include: • Intensive training on designing, conducting, and writing reports on, research projects • SSGM and other ANU scholars providing mentoring and feedback on your research projects and papers • Guided introductions to research resources • Visit to Parliament, and social events To encourage high standard work, we offer a separate four week visiting fellowship to the participant who authors the most outstanding paper presented to the Colloquium. This fellowship gives an opportunity to present at SSGM’s flagship event - the State of the Pacific Conference. SSGM also offers all Colloquium participants ongoing mentoring as they develop their research projects and write up their papers after the Colloquium. Opportunities to submit papers for publication as SSGM Discussion Papers will also be available to participate.
