Call for Expressions of Interest:
Future Fellowship applications in Cultural and Social Research



Institute for Culture and Society

The Institute for Culture and Society (ICS) within the University of Western Sydney (UWS) was launched in 2012. ICS is a major national and international centre for the pursuit of engaged interdisciplinary cultural and social research. Rated 5 ("well above world standard") for Cultural Studies in the 2010 Excellence in Research for Australia (ERA) rankings, the Institute coordinates interdisciplinary cultural research across the humanities and social sciences and connects Australian cultural and social research to relevant research overseas, particularly in Asia.



With this last confirmed funding round of Australian Research Council Future Fellowships (see the website: http://www.arc.gov.au/ncgp/futurefel/future_default.htm) and a University commitment of significant new funding, ICS is investing in leading cultural and social researchers from Australia and overseas by supporting innovative and outstanding Future Fellowship proposals. Mid-career researchers 5-15 years post-PhD are eligible to apply.
