Melbourne Research Fellowship (Career Interruption)

The Melbourne Research Fellowships (Career Interruptions) Program is now open. The Melbourne Research Fellowships (Career Interruptions) Program enables eligible researchers to enhance or re-establish their academic careers where they have been significantly interrupted, delayed or otherwise constrained by chronic illness, child rearing or other caring duties.

Successful applicants will receive $60,000 (on-costs inclusive) plus $20,000 for travel or research support, including small equipment purchases. The amount requested for salary must be matched 1:1 by the host faculty.

To be eligible for this scheme, potential candidates must have completed a PhD degree in their field three to ten years prior to application. Academic staff already employed by UoM, but not in a continuing position, are eligible to apply.

If you are interested in this scheme please contact Jan Seesod at mgse-grants@unimelb.edu.au as the school will need to approve your application for matched funding before submission.
