Curtin Research Fellowships for commencement in 2012
The Curtin Research Fellowship scheme aims to attract high quality post doctoral researchers with excellent potential for providing future academic and research leadership at the University. It is highly competitive and continues to be amongst the most prestigious fellowship schemes in Australia.
The call for applications in 2011, for commencement in 2012, refers to a targeted research-only fellowship with two streams:
- Early Career Researcher Fellowship: Suitably qualified applicants who received their PhD within the last five years
- Senior Research Fellowship: Suitably qualified applicants with more than five years post-doctoral experience.
Applications
All applications must be completed and submitted using the online application system.
Applications open Friday 1st July 2011
Applications close Monday 5th September 2011 at 5:00pm GMT+8:00
Successful applicants will be appointed as a staff member within the enrolling area sponsoring the fellowship application. It is therefore critical that the potential fellow liaise directly with the appropriate head of enrolling area prior to submitting an application to ensure that the proposed project and activities align with the area's strategic plan. Applications without the signature of the appropriate head of enrolling area to confirm support will not be considered.
The fellowships are not restricted to Australian citizens. Applicants must have completed a research doctoral degree.
