Career Enhancement Fellowships for Academic Women

The University has developed a number of initiatives to enhance the career profile of women and prepare women for executive and senior leadership roles. The Career Enhancement Fellowships is one such initiative aiming to support senior women to enhance their profile and reputation, increase their likelihood of promotion to Level D or E and help to remove barriers to women wishing to move into leadership positions.

The Career Enhancement Fellowships are funded by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic and Global Relations) and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research).

The fellowships provide up to $50,000 to an academic's faculty to cover negotiated duties for a 12 month period plus $8,000 to cover costs for the academic to travel to conferences or to support networking opportunities.

The establishment of Career Enhancement Fellowships for Academic Women at the University of Newcastle place the University at the forefront of the Australian higher education sector in displaying a willingness to support senior women to enhance their profile and reputation, increase their likelihood of promotion to Level D or E and help to remove barriers to women wishing to move into leadership positions.
