Australian Academy of Science
The Fellowship commemorates the work of Dr G.J. Caughley, FAA in ecology and wildlife management. Dr Caughley was a chief research scientist with the CSIRO Wildlife and Ecology, Canberra, until his death in February 1994. The Fellowship is financed through the generosity of his friends and colleagues.
The purpose of the Fellowship is to enable ecologists resident in Australia or New Zealand to share their expertise by visiting scientific centres and giving lectures in countries other than Australia or New Zealand.
The Academy does not, in general, have the resources to offer support to partners and children to accompany an awardee of a travelling fellowship or scholarship, but will on a case by case basis and subject to the availability of funds, consider support for a carer to accompany an infant if this allows the carer to accept the award.
The Fellowship is offered every two years. Up to $5000 (GST exempt) is offered.
