Flinders University Re-entry Fellowship

Purpose:

  • To provide funds to Colleges to relieve some of the pressure on academic staff returning to the University following a period of parental leave by paying for research assistance (or other research support, including funds for teaching relief), to allow staff members to focus on the re-establishment of their research program.

Eligibility:

  • The Fellowships are available to academic staff, with research and teaching duties, (i.e. not for research only staff),with a current contract of three years or longer with at least 18 months remaining. Fellowships may be awarded on a pro rata basis to part-time applicants. Fellowships may be awarded to:
  • Female academic staff in their first year back from parental leave and who wish to re-establish and resume their well-established academic research careers.
  • Any candidates, including males, who can provide evidence that they have taken a substantial period (at least 6 months) of parental leave in the preceding 12 months, to care for a new baby.
  • Applicants must demonstrate significant research prior to the period of leave.

Benefits

  • Funding up to $50,000 will be available for each Fellowship, according to discipline and individual circumstances.
  • The funds provided are additional to those available under the return to work provisions of the University’s Parental Leave policy.

Applications:

  • Applications must be made to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research)and submitted by the Vice-President and Executive Dean of the College, by 30April and 30 November in each year. The application should detail the leave taken, a research plan, a statement of research track record, a budget and a Curriculum Vitae.
  • Selection will be made by a selection committee nominated bythe Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research).

Acquittal

  • The recipient must submit a report on the outcomes of the Fellowship, including a budget acquittal, through the Executive Dean of the College to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research) within three months of completion of the Fellowship.
