Australian Clinical Research Fellowship
Eligibility
To be eligible to apply, applicants must hold a doctorate in a health related field of research or have submitted a thesis for such by 31 December of the year of application. Applicants should have demonstrated an interest in, and ability to pursue, a career in research and be currently engaged in such activities. At the time of application, applicants should not have more than two years postdoctoral experience from the date that the doctoral thesis was passed.
For years 1 and 2, applicants should nominate a Department (preferably institution) and research group other than that where the applicant's doctoral qualifications were obtained. Any deviation from this condition must be presented with full justification in the application. It is the intention of these fellowships to provide different training from that experienced during the PhD. Other than in exceptional circumstances a proposal in which the department, supervisor and research group remain unchanged will be ruled ineligible or severely penalised.
Applicants must be Australian citizens, or be graduates from overseas with permanent Australian resident status, not under bond to any foreign government.
The Australian Clinical Research Fellowships are awarded annually for a maximum of four years support at an Australian institution provided that there are satisfactory annual reports from the supervisor.
