The University of Sydney Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Scheme 2007

http://www.usyd.edu.au/research/fellowships/postdoc.shtml

The University of Sydney Postdoctoral Fellowships were established in 1996
to support excellence in full-time research undertaken in any Department
or School at the University. The University will be offering up to 15 new
Fellowships in 2007. The Fellowships are extremely prestigious and highly
competitive internationally in line with equivalent externally funded
fellowships. Applicants must have an outstanding track record relative to
opportunity in order to be short-listed. Successful applicants are
expected to be based full-time at the University for the duration of the
Fellowship.

CLOSING DATES TO RESEARCH OFFICE: 15 September 2006
Applicants must contact the Head of the host School/Department before 11
August 2006.

 Eligibility


Preference will be given to applicants seeking to join the University from
another organisation in Australia or from overseas. Applicants currently
employed at the University of Sydney who commenced such employment on or
after 1 July 2005 are eligible to apply.

Applicants must have a PhD award dated no earlier than 1 December 2001, or
provide evidence in the application of graduand status as at 15 September
2006 (ie. evidence that all the requirements for the PhD award, including
examination, have been completed).

Applicants wishing to clarify or seek exemption from eligibility
requirements must submit a written request to the Research Office by 28
July 2006.

 Assessment Criteria


Excellence will be the primary criterion, both in terms of the project and
the researcher. Equal weight will be given to the quality of the project,
the track record of the applicant relative to opportunity, and the
research environment in the host Department/School.
