MACQUARIE POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS SCHEME (MQRFS)
http://www.research.mq.edu.au/researchers/funding/internal/mqrf

The Division of Society, Culture, Media and Philosophy (Macquarie
University) welcomes
expressions of interest from early career researchers (recent PhD or close
to submission) interested in applying through one of the Division's
Departments or Centres to the Macquarie
University Research Fellowship scheme (MQRFS).

The Division of SCMP is dedicated to the conduct of quality
interdisciplinary and discipline-specific research and the training of
future leaders in three major areas which are at the cutting-edge of
contemporary society and culture in Australia and other liberal democracies:
social sciences and philosophy; media, communication and culture; and
indigenous arts and education. The Division houses the following Departments
and Centres:

Anthropology
CRSI - Centre for Research on Social Inclusion
Critical & Cultural Studies
International Communication
Media
Philosophy
Sociology
Women's Studies
Warawara - Department of Indigenous Studies

The assessment criteria for the scheme includes a consideration of the
research environment of the host Department or Centre. If your research
falls within one of these areas and you are interested in applying for a
fellowship, we invite you to contact the Division's Research Coordinator,
Dr. [log in to unmask] outlining proposed research area. Please
also send a short CV.
 If you are unsure about whether your research is suitable in terms of the
Division's research areas you may contact the Research Coordinator for
further advice.

The MQRFS scheme is highly competitive and applicants should note that, in
general terms, the assessment panel place emphasis on the need for a strong
publication record.

interests of staff can be found at: www.scmp.mq.edu.au

Your expression of interest will be forwarded for consideration to the
Department/ Centre and the possibility of a hosting arrangement for the
fellowship application will be at the discretion of the Head, and may depend
on the availability of infrastructure and resources independent of
consideration of the proposal and/or track record.

MACQUARIE UNIVERSITY RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS SCHEME
** Closing date: Friday 6 July 2007 5pm

Macquarie University will offer up to six new research Fellowship positions
commencing in 2008, through the Macquarie University Research Fellowships
Scheme (MQRF). Positions will be awarded on a competitive basis and will be
tenable on a full-time basis for three years.

The MQRF Scheme has three main objectives.

1. To provide support at a postdoctoral level to researchers (generally near
the beginning of their research career) who have an outstanding track record
(relevant to opportunity) or who show evidence of excellent research
potential;

2. To provide an incubation research period for early career researchers,
allowing them to increase their competitive edge in securing research
funding from non-University sources; and

3. To enhance the research capabilities of existing and emerging areas of
research concentration and excellence within Macquarie University.

The salary package for the Fellowships will be from Australian $72,372 pa,
including
base salary A $61,155 to $65,600 pa, annual leave loading and 17% employer
superannuation - rates effective from 1 November 2007. These salary levels
will be adjusted in line with movements in the Academic Salary Scale of the
Macquarie University Enterprise Agreement. Applicants may also apply for up
to A $50,000 to assist with research costs associated with the proposed
Fellowship project over three years (up to a maximum of A $20,000 in any one
year).
