Chancellor's Postdoctoral Research Fellowships
UTS Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Research Fellowships are awarded through a highly competitive process to outstanding early career researchers who wish to develop their research, teaching and learning, management and communication skills to become the next generation of leading academics at UTS.
We are seeking applications from candidates whose profile and proposed program of work aligns with UTS’s strategic intent to be a research leader across each of the following Research Focus Areas:
- Health
- Data Science
- Sustainability
- Social Futures
- Future Work and Industry
In addition, many of UTS’s nine faculties are seeking to attract candidates in various research priority areas.
Postdoctoral fellows will be expected to engage in high quality research projects, produce high quality outputs, and contribute to existing and emerging teaching and learning areas relevant to UTS.
Fellowships are offered on the basis of four years for a combination research and teaching appointment. The number of fellowships awarded will depend on the quality of the candidates and the funding available. Between 2011 and 2016, between 10 and 16 fellows were appointed each year.
Fellows will initially be appointed at Academic Salary Level B, Step 2 ($99,924 base salary as of 1 May 2017). In addition, the university offers 17 per cent employer-provided superannuation contribution.
Depending on the nature of the proposed research, project funding of up to $50,000 is also available: refer to the scheme guidelines for details.
