Macquarie University Vice-Chancellor's Innovation Fellowships (MQVCIF) 2014
The Department of Sociology invites expressions of interest from potential applicants to the MQVCIF scheme. The purpose of the Macquarie University Vice-Chancellor's Innovation Fellowship (MQVCIF) Scheme is to attract outstanding researchers to the University who will focus on developing effective research collaborations with Australian/ International organisations from industry, commerce, government and community groups, which ultimately attracts substantial external research funding.
Researchers with a track record of work in applied areas of research relevant to the discipline of sociology are encouraged to make contact. Scholars with existing connections or collaborations with government agencies, community groups or NGOs are particularly encouraged to apply.
Funding
Up to three MQVCIFs will be appointed at academic Level B (Lecturer) or Level C (Senior Lecturer) according to qualifications and experience.
Fellowships are tenurable for two years in the first instance, with provision for renewal for up to five further years.
Successful applicants may be awarded up to $40,000 (maximum of $20,000 pa), to assist with research costs associated with the proposed Fellowship project over the initial two years of appointment.
Key Dates:
Scheme opens : Wednesday 08-May-13
Faculty deadline for full drafts for compliance checking and review : Wednesday 29-May-13

Expressions of interest should be accompanied by a one page synopsis of the proposed program of research, and a full CV, including a list of publications and details of previous research funding.
