All applications must be completed and submitted using the online application system unless you qualify for the Curtin Research Fellowship 2016 – FastTrack Option.

FastTrack Option

If you have recently applied for an ARC/NHMRC Fellowship scheme and would like to be considered for a Curtin Research Fellowship, Curtin invites you to submit your full ARC/NHMRC application directly to:

ORD-Fellowships@curtin.edu.au

Along with the submission of your application, please ensure that you complete and attach the required FastTrack Applicant Details Form.

A completed Certification Form should also be attached with your submission.

Note: Your application is not lodged until you have received an acknowledgement email from the ORD Fellowship Officer confirming receipt of your application and required documents.

Successful applicants will be appointed as a staff member within the recruiting area sponsoring the fellowship application. It is therefore critical that the potential fellow liaise directly with the appropriate head of recruiting area prior to submitting an application to ensure that the proposed project and activities align with the area’s strategic plan. Applications without the signature of the appropriate head of recruiting area to confirm support will not be considered.

Aboriginality is an inherent requirement of this position per Section 50(d) of the Equal Opportunity Act 1984.
