Apologies for cross-posting
The Macquarie University Research Fellowship (MQRF) Scheme
has opened for formal Expressions of Interest.
Macquarie University will offer up to ten full-time
Research Fellowship positions commencing
in 2016. Fellowships will be awarded on a competitive
basis and will be fixed-term for three years. Applicants must have been awarded their PhD on or after 1 March 2012,
or submit their thesis by 19 August 2015
(or make a convincing case for early career researcher status).
The Department of Geography and Planning is
seeking potential applicants.
If you have an interest in applying for a
Fellowship, please
send:
1. Your current CV with list of publications, as
an email attachment with your surname in the file name.
2. Provisional project title and a very brief
(200 word) project description, also as an attachment with
your surname in the file name.
to Dr Kristian Ruming ([log in to unmask]) by Friday 15 May.
If the Department is able to sponsor your
application, you will be notified on Monday 18 May. Sponsored applicants will then be invited to
work with their sponsors to develop their
Expressions of Interest which must be submitted in their final form by Wednesday 10 June.
It is important that there is a good fit between
the research interests of applicants and sponsors.
For this reason, potential applications which align with the Department of
Geography and Planning core research strengths (attached) will be strongly
supported. Potential applicants are also encouraged to review staff research
profiles:
