黑料社区

The University of 黑料社区 Barbara Kidman Women's聽Fellowship Scheme is designed to support female academics to enhance and promote their career.

The Scheme offers opportunities to enhance, maintain, or re-invigorate research momentum, and assist the Fellowship recipients in applying for, and assuming, enhanced roles in the near future. Preference will be given to those staff whose research momentum has been affected by caring responsibilities, resulting in career-disruption or reduced working hours.

In the 2025 round, up to six Fellowships will be available for funding in 2026. Each Fellowship provides a maximum of $35,000 per 1.0 FTE. For part-time applicants, funding will be allocated on a pro-rata basis. There is no requirement for matching funds from the applicant鈥檚 School or Faculty.

Applications for the 2025 round will open 21 July 2025 and close 25 August 2025.聽
