2024 Future Making Fellowships - applications now open

Applications are now being accepted for the University of Adelaide's Future Making Fellowships Scheme for 2024.

The University of Adelaide Future Making Fellowships Scheme has been established to attract and support early-career and mid-career researchers of outstanding research calibre and potential, who will be based in the University’s Research Institutes.

Scope and Support

It is expected that 6 Fellowships will be offered in 2024, depending on the final mix of appointment levels. Successful Fellows will be appointed within one of the University’s Schools in one of the three Faculties. They will report to the Director of a University Research Institute and be co-supervised by a senior researcher(s) in a School.

Each Fellowship provides a full salary plus on-costs, together with an additional, one-off research establishment grant of $50k, and a contribution of $5k towards relocation costs for interstate applicants and $10k for international applicants.

In 2024, the research to be undertaken by the Future Making Fellow must be aligned with one of the Research Missions in the University of Adelaide’s FAME (Foci and Magnets for Excellence) Healthy Societies Strategy (https://www.adelaide.edu.au/research/about-us/research-strategy).

The aggregate length of the Future Making Fellowship at the time of offer will be 3 years. 

Eligibility

Applicants must be early-career researchers who do not hold a continuing appointment (or an offer of a continuing appointment) at the University of Adelaide at the time of application. Holders of a current nationally competitive Australian Fellowship that concludes by 31 December 2024 will be considered eligible to apply for a Future Making Fellowship if they meet other eligibility requirements. 

Applicants must have been awarded a PhD, and have at least 2 years and no more than 7 years postdoctoral experience (relative to opportunity) at the closing time for applications. 

All applicants must be eligible to apply for independent, externally-funded, nationally competitive fellowships¹ during the period of their appointment. 

¹ Nationally competitive fellowships are those listed on the Australian Competitive Grants Register (ACGR).

Appointment

The Future Making Fellow will be appointed at Level B. 

Applications close: August 19
