The Australian Taxation Studies Program (Atax), University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia, is seeking two research fellows for 2007:

In 2007, Atax will offer two Research Fellowships to visiting academics or practitioners. Each Fellowship is valued at up to A$7,500. Research Fellows normally spend four weeks working at Atax on a mutually agreed area of research. During their stay, Fellows are involved in the following activities:

• Producing at least one research paper on a topic of taxation interest to be published in a refereed journal with due acknowledgement of the Fellowship
• Conducting an Atax staff seminar for interested tax academics;
• Collaborating with Atax staff in writing a paper on any aspect of taxation or its related disciplines and suitable for eventual publication in a refereed journal
• Participating in Atax collegial activities during the period of the Fellowship

Atax will provide office space and computer equipment at its campus in Sydney, Australia. Fellows will be responsible for organising their own travel and accommodation arrangements. The preferred timing for successful applicants to undertake the Fellowship is August 2007, but other times of the year may also be possible.

To apply, send a letter of application indicating the tax area to research under the Fellowship, a current curriculum vitae, and preferred timing to undertake the Fellowship to Associate Professor Margaret McKerchar, Research Fellowship Convenor. For more details, see here.
