John Dillon Memorial Fellowship for Developing Countries’ Students in Australia

John Dillon
Fellowship
The
John Dillon Memorial Fellowship was established by ACIAR in recognition of
Professor John L. Dillon’s life-long support for international agricultural research.
The Fellowship scheme serves the memory of John Dillon by providing career
development opportunities for out

standing young agricultural scientists or
economists from ACIAR partner countries who are involved in a current or
recently completed ACIAR project. 8-10 Fellowships are offered annually.

The
Fellowship aims to develop leadership skills in the areas of agricultural
research management, agricultural policy and/or extension technologies. This
is achieved by providing exposure to Australian agriculture across a range of
best-practice organisations involved in research, extension and/or policy
making.
The
visit programs are tailored by negotiation between ACIAR and the selected
Fellow to meet the needs of individual Fellows and their employing organisation.
Arrangements for the Fellowships will be flexible, and the following points are
intended to indicate features of the program:
  • Fellowships
    normally involve a 5-6 week period in Australia.
  • Fellows
    are hosted by 1-2 Australian organisations (such as a Federal Government
    Department, a University, a Cooperative Research Centre or State
    Department of Agriculture) where they spend at least 50 % of their
    Fellowship period.
  • Fellows
    participate in a formal research management training course in Australia.
  • Fellows
    undertake a structured program of visits to various institutes, including
    the presentation of relevant lectures.
