[Air-L] research fellowships: Curtin Uni, Australia

[Matthew Allen]

Dear all

The Department of Internet Studies would invite researchers in all topics around internet, new media, gaming, digital media creativity, knowledge networking and the like to consider applying for a Curtin University research fellowship, to be based in the Department.

These fellowships are of two sorts, depending on length of time since your PhD (5 years or less; more than 5 years). They are for four years; in return for a small amount of teaching, they can be extended to five years. Researchers need to prepare an extensive application including a clearly defined research project. More information is at http://research.curtin.edu.au/research-funding/fellowships.cfm

The Department has an increasingly strong research culture, including the appointment of a Senior research fellow in 2010 (Professor Mark Balnaves). It has more than 20 doctoral students, as well as a vibrant and innovative undergraduate program. First founded as an area of study in 2001, Internet Studies became a Department in 2008. It is part of the School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts and research fellowship applicants with links into screen, journalism, performance, writing, cultural studies and information science will find colleagues from those areas with whom to collaborate. There are currently 3 tenured and 3 fixed-term academics in the department.

Any interested applicants should contact me directly to discuss their application, assist in drafting and for guidance about the rather specific ways in which they can shape their application to maximise the chance of success.
