The AMRI Visiting Research Fellowships support researchers to work on research projects with Australian Museum Scientists.

The Museum’s research focus is in four significant areas:

1. Understanding and ameliorating impacts of climate change on biodiversity;
2. Contributing to the understanding and management of pest species;
3. Understanding what constitutes and influences effective animal conservation; and
4. Applying wildlife genomics/DNA to solve key problems.

While the Institute covers the full range of its geoscience and biological research, there is a strong emphasis on these four research priorities.

Funding & Duration

The maximum amount of the fellowship is $8,000 to assist with living costs, travel and research expenses (e.g. bench fees and specialist analyses).
