The 2014 University of Sydney Research Fellowship Scheme is now open.

The University of Sydney Postdoctoral Fellowships were established in 1996 to support excellence in full-time research undertaken in the University. The Fellowships are extremely prestigious and highly competitive internationally in line with equivalent externally funded fellowships. They are intended to support early career researchers. Applicants must have an outstanding track record relative to opportunity in order to be short-listed. Successful applicants are expected to be based full-time at the University for the duration of the Fellowship, which is for a maximum period of three years.

There is an Expression of Interest process for intending applicants within the humanities and social sciences with a deadline of Friday 3 May (the EoI form is available on the above webpage). For those applicants who progress beyond the EoI stage, the closing date for full applications is Friday 31 May.

This year we would like to make a special effort to recruit exceptional applicants in Art History, among other fields. As a guide, most applicants who progress to the stage of submitting a full application are onto their second book project and/or have a series of articles around a specific research area. This is often an applicant’s second postdoc, although that is not expected. All applicants must have received their PhD between 1 Jan 2008 and 31 Dec 2012.

Kind regards,
Jennifer
