Australia - 2008 Victoria University Postdoctoral Research Fellowships
November 1st, 2007
Sponsored Links
The Victoria University Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Scheme is a new initiative to support outstanding early career researchers seeking to commence an academic/research career. The Scheme provides appointments of 3 years duration (four year appointment may be available with the addition of a teaching component by mutual agreement and subject to the availability of
funding). Up to 10 Research Fellowships will be supported in 2008 under this Scheme at Academic Level A or B including a start-up grant of $15,000.
This will be a highly competitive scheme, and applicants are expected to have an outstanding track record relative to opportunity.
The scheme focuses on outstanding early career researchers who would normally be within 5 years of completing their Doctoral qualification.
Accordingly applicants must have a PhD or equivalent Doctoral qualification awarded no earlier than 1 January 2003.
Applications will be assessed on excellence, both in relation to the proposed research project and the track record of researcher. Applications will be assessed equally on quality of the research project, track record (relative to opportunity) of the applicant and the research environment in the host School/Faculty/Centre or Institute. It is expected that a significant number of Fellowships will be aligned with the University’s areas of research strength, typically Research Centres and Institutes, although outstanding applicants from any discipline in which the University has research strengths are encouraged to apply.
Applications close 15 December 2007
