New Emerging Researcher Fellowship 2008

An important outcome of the Southern Health Research Strategy was the development of the Southern Health Emerging Researcher Fellowships, first awarded in 2007, specifically targeted at emerging researchers employed within Southern Health.

The primary purpose of the Fellowships is to invest in early career individuals with significant potential for a research career and for whom a fellowship would contribute to that end. The purpose of the Fellowships is to provide a career development opportunity for those who may not have a proven record of research and significant salary support for eligible SH employees. SH employees in all health related disciplines including allied health, medicine and nursing are eligible to apply.

A new opportunity has recently arisen, whereby a supplementary Emerging Researcher Fellowship can be awarded in 2008. This is a "one off"
opportunity which will involve the same application and selection process. The Fellowship of $30,000 is for a one year duration.

  1. Download and read the document "Southern Health Emerging
    Researcher Fellowship November 2008 Guidelines

    Southern Health Emerging Researcher Fellowship 2008
    "
     

  3. Download and complete the document "Southern Health Emerging
    Researcher Fellowship 2008 Application Form

Once completed, applications together with attachments must be submitted in PDF format electronically to Malar Thiagarajan, Director, Research Services, Research Directorate. malar.thiagarajan@southernhealth.org.au
