Purpose
The Jackson Memorial Fellowship was instituted to
mark the occasion of Griffith University's election to Associate Membership
of the Association of Southeast Asian Institutions of Higher Learning (ASAIHL).
It was named the Jackson Memorial Fellowship in recognition of Professor
James C. Jackson's services in establishing relationships between the University
and universities of Southeast Asia. The prime purpose of the Fellowship
is to strengthen these links.
The scheme will provide funding to facilitate visits
to the University by faculy staff of ASAIHL member institutions whose participation
in the activities of the host faculty will contribute significantly to
that Faculty's expertise.
Eligibility
It is expected that the Jackson Fellow will be a
senior member of the faculty staff of an institution which is a member
of ASAIHL. The Fellowship is open to candidates from all academic disciplines,
but preference will be given to those with an interest in the application
of the social, political, economic, environmental or technological sciences
to the analysis and resolution of substantial policy issues at the national
or regional levels.
Since the prime purpose of the Fellowship is to
consolidate links with a variety of institutions, it is expected that candidates
from the same country are unlikely to be selected in successive years.
The 1998 and 1999 Jackson Fellows were from Hong Kong and Singapore respectively.
Therefore, priority will be given to candidates who are not from those
countries in the 2000 round.
Value of awards
The Fellowship carries the following financial benefits :
- $A2,500 payable to the Fellow to assist with travel
to and from Australia;
- $A350 stipend per week paid to the Fellow during
the period of residence;
- accommodation expenses;
- some assistance with travel to visit other tertiary
institutions is Australia, up to a total of $A1,200
Terms of the Fellowship
The Fellowship will be available once in each calendar
year and is tenable for one to three months. The Fellow will be expected
to visit Griffith University during a teaching semester in 2000 (February
- June : July - October).
The Jackson Fellow will be given status as a Visisting
Professor or Visiting Fellow in one of the Faculties of the University,
and will be expected to participate in the teaching and research programs
of that Faculty. Candidates are therefore requested to make contact with
the Dean of the appropriate host Faculty of the University, a list of the
major research interests of each Faculty is attached. It is not expected
that the teaching commitment will exceed three hours per week.
The University reserves the right to decline to
make an award in a particular year, where it is of the opinion that the
proposed visit will not fulfil the purposes of the scheme.
