Fulbright Distinguished Chair in Applied Public Policy

The Chair in Applied Public Policy provides a unique opportunity to undertake collaborative research into key policy issues important to both Australia and the United States, for 4 to 5 months each year.  There is growing consideration given to the strategic interests of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, exemplified by the US-Australia relationship.

• At Flinders University, the distinguished chair will be affiliated with a School or Centre matching his or her disciplinary expertise and is also encouraged to associate with the American Studies Program.
• At Carnegie Mellon University Australia, the distinguished chair will be affiliated with both the Public Policy and Management Program and the Information Technology and Management Program.

We are proud to continue our commitment to the Fulbright Distinguished Chair program with this joint 5 year agreement with Carnegie Mellon University Australia for the joint Fulbright Flinders University/CMUA Distinguished Chair in Applied Public Policy, which commenced in in 2017.
