SEA RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY: University of Sydney Fellowship Scheme

The University of Sydney Fellowships aim to attract outstanding early career researchers to the University of Sydney to contribute to and enhance its research strengths and culture.
Why join us?
Applications are welcome and encouraged from any discipline, faculty or research area. A particular objective of the 2017 round, however, is to attract talented recent doctoral graduates who can contribute to our whole-of-university multidisciplinary initiatives, broadly construed. Recipients of the University of Sydney Fellowships will be members of the Sydney Society of Fellows, and will be affiliated to a faculty and one of the University’s multidisciplinary centres (of which the Sydney Southeast Asia Centre is one).
Funding
The University of Sydney Fellowships will be available from January 2017 for a maximum duration of three years, with a starting salary at Level A8 of the University’s Academic salary scale (A$94,174 plus 17% superannuation) and research support of A$25,000.
