Currently
Available Positions
Currently, we are unable to offer any new
postdoctoral appointments for
2005. However, we welcome interested suitably qualified people wishing
to work at the University of Tasmania to contact us as there are a
number of externally funded positions available to be taken at
UTas. External funding sources is available for both short and
long term postdoctoral positions/visits and include:
ARC
Fellowships
The Australian Research Council (ARC) has a number of annual
Fellowships offered through the Dicovery Programme. There are four
levels of Fellowship: APD (3 years at ~$45K/year),
ARF/QEII (5 years at ~$50 K/yr), and APF (5 years at ~$80K/yr + 17%
superannuation).
Preference is generally given
to Australians and permanent residents at the APF level; QEII
Fellowships are evaluated on an open basis for nationalities. If you
are interested in
applying for such a position at UTas it is important to contact us well
in advance of the deadline as the application process is extenstive and
there are several internal deadlines that we must adhere too before the
final submission can be sent.
National Science Foundation International PDFs
The MPS Distinguished International Postdoctoral Research Fellowships
program, run by the National Science Foundation in the USA provides
special opportunities
for postdoctoral investigators to conduct research projects abroad as
MPS
Distinguished International Postdoctoral Research Fellows (MPS-DRF).
The
objective of
this activity is to provide talented recent doctoral recipients in the
mathematical and physical sciences an effective means of establishing
international collaborations
in the early stages of their careers, thereby facilitating and
enhancing
connections between the U.S. science and engineering community and its
international
counterparts. By providing the resources needed to establish
collaborations
with potential for long-term impact, this activity is aimed at
recognizing and
supporting
future leaders. The deadline for submissions is in November of any
given year.
Japan Society
for the
Promotion of Science
The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science funds young Japanese
postdoctoral researchers for conducting research at foreign
universities or research institutions for a period of two years. The
fellowship covers travel expenses, a stipend, and a research grant.
Typically,
100 of these fellowships are awarded. Deadlines are usually in
May, but are dependent upon the Japanese university through which the
student/postdoc is applying.
