Vice-Chancellor's Senior Research Fellowships

About the Fellowships

RMIT University provides Research Fellowships under two major schemes each year. These are the Vice-Chancellor’s Senior Research Fellowships and the Vice-Chancellor’s Research Fellowships.

The Vice-Chancellor’s Senior Research Fellows develop, engage in and lead high quality research in alignment with the University's research focus areas.

The Senior Research Fellows are expected to have a significant impact in the area of their specialisation, and to be acknowledged at an international level as being influential in expanding the knowledge of their relevant discipline. The Senior Research Fellows play an important research leadership role in embedding their research expertise into the life of their School and are expected to produce high quality, productivity driven research networks across RMIT and with local, national and global, internal and external partners.

Applicants

This is a competitive scheme advertised nationally and internationally on an annual basis. Applicants are selected on the basis of their excellent research track record and national or international recognition in an area aligned with RMIT’s research activity and impact.

The Fellowships are four year fixed term appointments with AUS$50,000 over this period to support the achievement of individual research goals. RMIT University also assists successful candidates with their move to Australia, providing visa and basic relocation support.

The Fellows are located in and supported by School services and structures, and are eligible for all School provided professional development and research support. These positions report through the normal School channels to the Head of School.

Recruitment for the 2012 round has now closed. Information regarding applications for the next round of applications will be available in mid-2013.
