Early Career Researchers

The Macquarie Vice-Chancellor’s Innovation Fellowship (MQVCIF) Scheme seeks outstanding researchers who will focus on developing research collaborations with organisations from industry, commerce, government and community groups, which ultimately attracts substantial external research funding. The research may be undertaken in any discipline area of the University, though it must be aligned to designated areas of research strength.

A study commissioned by DEEWR seeks the views of people who are in academic positions about academic work and the academic profession. The aim of the study is to identify the core factors relating to the motivation of people to remain in higher education and the factors that might lead to them considering other careers or pursuing academic work overseas.

If you have received an invitation to complete the survey via email, either from your institution or from the researchers, this is a final reminder to complete the survey, as the closing date is COB Monday August 2nd.
