The University of Western Australia offers the following Fellowships to interstate and overseas researchers:
Postdoctoral Research Fellowships scheme | Re-Entry Postdoctoral Research Fellowship | Professor-at-Large Program, Institute of Advanced Studies | Gleddon Visiting Senior FellowshipsIn line with its objectives to recruit, retain and develop high quality researchers, the University of Western Australia’s University Postdoctoral Research Fellowship Scheme offers early-career researchers the opportunity to work at UWA with established researchers, access to high quality research facilities and opportunities to develop their research careers. www.research.uwa.edu.au/page/77464The University of Western Australia introduced the Re-Entry Postdoctoral Research Fellowship as a key affirmative action strategic initiative. The fellowship aims to facilitate re-entry to an academic career where family responsibilities have interrupted academic research. www.research.uwa.edu.au/page/77467The Professor-at-Large Scheme offers an opportunity for eminent scholars to make strong connections with the University of Western Australia over an extended period through multiple visits and a broad range of activities during each stay. They are based at the Institute of Advanced Studies and encouraged to foster inter-departmental activities. www.ias.uwa.edu.au/page/37720The purpose of the Fellowships is to provide travel costs with or without living expenses for scholars from outside Western Australia. The intention of the Fellowship is to promote visits to the University by senior academics who would be expected to make a significant contribution to the work and activities of a school in the University in the field of applied science, more particularly relating to surveying, engineering, mining or cognate subjects. www.scholarships.uwa.edu.au/page/64168University of Western Sydney (UWS)
UWS seeks to link with international researchers and research partners and welcomes you to contact their researchers or Office of Research Services to explore opportunities.
International Research Initiatives Scheme (IRIS) | Eminent Research Visitors SchemeThe University of Western Sydney seeks to link with international researchers through its International Research Initiatives Scheme.
The International Research Initiatives Scheme is designed to support research at UWS through specific initiatives leading to a strengthening of the research competitiveness and international profile of UWS. Proposals from UWS staff for international visiting fellows under this scheme will lead to the generation of international linkages and collaborations with the prospect of international and other external research funding, and publication outputs.
There are two rounds each year. www.uws.edu.au/about/adminorg/devint/ors/fundingopps/internalgrantsThe University of Western Sydney seeks to link with eminent international researchers through its Eminent Research Visitors Scheme.
Eminent Research Visitors are scholars with high-level international reputations as researchers who can advance the acquisition of leading edge knowledge in the fields in which UWS is seeking to maintain research excellence. The Eminent Research Visitors Scheme covers support for visits by eminent researchers from overseas for at least eight weeks a year across a designated triennium. The Scheme seeks to intensify the research capacity, international links and collaborative research activity of nationally competitive research groupings at UWS.
Eminent Research Visitors share their expertise and fundamentally contribute to the sponsoring research grouping’s development during their periodic stays at UWS, forming new intellectual bridges, promoting scholarly exchange of research expertise, and enabling UWS researchers to discuss topics and action research at the forefront of knowledge in the relevant fields. www.uws.edu.au/about/adminorg/devint/ors/fundingopps/internalgrants
