Australian Research Council Future Fellowships at the University of Newcastle

The Unviersity of Newcastle is seeking Expressions of Interest from outstanding researchers who wish to apply for an Australian Research Council Future Fellowship to be based at the University of Newcastle in 2009. The ARC Future Fellowships offer four-year Fellowships of up to $140,000 a year to the best and brightest Australian and international researchers in the middle of their career. The Future Fellowships scheme encourages proposals from researchers working in areas of national priority, with preference given to those researchers who can demonstrate a capacity to build collaboration across industry, research institutions or with other discipliens.  Further information is available through the ARC website at http://www.arc.gov.au/ncgp/futurefel/future_default.htm

The University of Newcastle is recognised nationally and internationally for research excellence in key areas.

Successful internal applicants on operationally funded contracts of 5 years or more or on-going appointees will be backfilled at the same level and time fraction as their current appointment for the full period of the Fellowship.
