Research Fellowships

The NFSA is seeking applications from established researchers and audiovisual practitioners with a record of significant achievement for Research Fellowships.

Senior academics, scholars, writers, filmmakers, artists and archival professionals from Australia and overseas are encouraged to apply. The fellowships involve a residency at the NFSA in Canberra, with accommodation supplied. Fellows can use the NFSA's collections to stimulate or otherwise inform an academic publication, a new sound or moving image work, or a live event.

We welcome your research proposals all year round.
