Macquarie University Research Fellowships (MQRF)
Status | Closed - Applications now under assessment |
---|---|
Aim | The purpose of the Macquarie University Research Fellowships (MQRF) Scheme is to support researchers within three years of the award of their PhD who have an outstanding track record (relative to opportunity) and/or who show evidence of excellent research potential. The Scheme provides an incubation period for early career researchers to allow them to increase their competitive edge in securing research funding from non-University sources. In addition, the Scheme aims to enhance the research capabilities of existing and emerging areas of research strength at Macquarie University. |
Funding | Up to ten full-time Research Fellowships commencing in 2025 will be awarded on a competitive basis, and will be tenurable for three years. The salary range for the Fellowship will be awarded to commence at step 6 of Level A of the Academic Salary Scale, plus annual leave loading and 17% employer superannuation. These salary levels will be adjusted in line with movements in the Academic Salary Scale. Salaries commencing above an A6 cannot be supported by the Fellowship, however supplementation by the host Department may be negotiated. All Macquarie University assessment panels are governed by the policies and procedures of Macquarie University, including the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Policy. A commitment is made to ensure gender equity of our internal awards. |
