Staff & Associates
Centre
staff and associates bring together a wide range of expertise covering
Islam, politics, history, political economy, international relations
and three main languages (Arabic, Persian and Turkish) in relation
to the Arab world, Iran, Turkey and Central Asia.
Three
of the Centre's academic positions - a senior lectureship and two
lectureships - are supported from ANU's joint endowments with the
Al-Maktoum Foundation (UAE), and the Iranian and Turkish governments.
Under the agreements signed for these endowments, the standard University
academic and selection processes apply to these positions as they
do to all other ANU appointments.
The
Centre's activities are guided by an Advisory Board drawn from academia,
government, business and industry. The Centre also calls on the expertise
of a panel of International Advisers.
