What's new .... ARC Future Fellowships - Call for Proposals


The University of Western Australia (UWA) welcomes applicants for Australian Research Council Future Fellowships to join our word-class research teams. The University currently sits at 128 on the Shanghai Jai Tong ranking of world universities and has set its sights on being in the top 100 within four years.

We are seeking top flight international or Australian mid-career researchers in our strategic outcome areas and emerging areas of strategic and local importance to join our world-class Centres and teams of researchers.  Please view a list of UWA’s strategic research outcome areas .

Future Fellowship appointees at the UWA may receive continuing positions at the end of the Fellowships subject to negotiation with the appropriate Dean or Head of School prior to taking up the Fellowship and subject to performance during the Fellowship. The closing date for applications to reach the Australian Research Council is November 26th 2008 for Fellowships commencing in 2009. However, applicants applying to join UWA must have their applications to the UWA Research Office by 17th November.

An emphasis on research and research training is a defining characteristic of The University of Western Australia. The University is one of Australia's leading research-intensive universities and the premier research institution in Western Australia. Annually the University receives in excess of $137m of external research income and expends over $236m on research, with approximately 300 higher degree by research students completing their degree, mostly PhDs. In the Australian context, it is a medium sized, comprehensive university.

The centrality and importance of research and research training is evident in the vision that the University has articulated for the 21st Century and in its mission: "To advance, transmit, sustain knowledge and understanding, through the conduct of teaching, research and scholarship at the highest international standards, for the benefit of the national and international communities and the State of Western Australia".

Academic leadership in research and research training at UWA is provided by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation), Professor Doug McEachern and by the Pro Vice-Chancellor (Research and Research Training), Professor Robyn Owens.

UWA has recently appointed Associate Deans of Research in each of the nine Faculties and the School of Indigenous Studies as initial contact points for research related enquiries.
