Our annual fellowship scheme is aligned with the RMIT strategic plan and our eight Enabling Capability Platforms. Successful applicants will be offered either a Vice-Chancellor’s Senior Research Fellowship or a Vice-Chancellor’s Research Fellowship, dependent on the applicant’s level of experience and track record.

Senior Research Fellows and Research Fellows plan, develop and engage in high quality, impactful research projects, which address local, national, regional and global challenges. Our Fellows will be expected to attract external research funding including competitive grants from both national and international sources, and produce high quality outputs.

Our Fellows are located within our academic Schools. Research Fellows will embed his/her research expertise into the life of the School through building research networks with local and national, internal and external partners. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the relevant school that will host the appointment before applying.

Fellows may undertake limited teaching duties linked to their active research projects, to promote student engagement and further embed research activity in teaching.

At the end of the Fellowship it is expected that Fellowship awardees will be offered a continuing position, conditional on performance criteria being met, in either a teaching and research academic or a research only academic position depending on School needs.
