Here is some more information on the Fellowship from the Stout Research Centre website:
Applicants should be scholars of high standing, with an established publication record, who have a particular project they wish to initiate or complete. They must be able to devote themselves to full-time research and writing on their chosen topic. Preference may be given to an applicant who proposes a fresh field of research. The successful applicant will spend a major part of his or her time at the Stout Research Centre so as to be able to take an active part in the life of the Centre. There is no restriction on either the nationality or occupation of applicants. The Fellowship will not be awarded to anyone whose research is concurrently supported by their regular employment, nor for the writing of a PhD.
The Fellow will be attached to the Stout Research Centre at Victoria and will be responsible to the Director. The Stout Research Centre has been established at Victoria University of Wellington to encourage the study of society, history and culture in New Zealand. The Centre holds regular seminars and lectures during the year and the Fellow will be expected to contribute to this programme in a manner appropriate to his or her personal strengths and preferences. It is expected that a publication will result from the tenure of the Fellowship. All aspects of publication (negotiation of contract with publisher, design, etc.) are the responsibility of the Fellow. A room in the Stout Research Centre will be provided for the duration of the Fellowship, with access to computer, library and other facilities.
Applicants should provide personal details and an outline of relevant published writings and work in progress. The proposed programme of work during the tenure of the Fellowship must be included, with an indication of the use likely to be made of the resources available in Wellington such as the Alexander Turnbull Library and Archives New Zealand. In making the appointment, considerable weight will be given to published writings of high quality.
