Dear all Each year Curtin advertises research fellowships which may be taken up in any area of the university; these are now open for 2007. These positions are highly competitive. They are ranked at 'Lecturer' level in Australia but have the following benefits: - five years + possible tenure as a research/teaching academic - research only for most of the five years - funding for your research work - rapid opportunity for promotion to Senior Lecturer Visit http://research.curtin.edu.au/fellowships/index.html for all the details. If you are interested in applying for these positions, which are 5 years, with possible tenure as a research/teaching academic, please contact me ASAP for advice and support in your application. Before you do, however... Please note, you must have a PhD to be eligible and you must align your research project to the listed areas of research concentration (which includes 'information and communication'; there is also a targeted fellowship in 'Frontier technologies for Digital Ecosystems'). Most importantly, past experience shows too that you *MUST* have a strong CV (several refereed articles, possibly a monograph) to have any chance of getting into the final shortlist.
