CALL FOR EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST FOR POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS BASED AT THE CENTRE FOR CRITICAL AND CULTURAL STUDIES
The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia

The Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies (CCCS) at the University of Queensland is seeking expressions of interest for applications for 3 year UQ Postdoctoral Research Fellowships for 2015 - 2017. The UQ postdoctoral scheme seeks to attract talented early career researchers with well-developed research programs and strong track records. The fellowships support full time research, although it is possible to organise some teaching experience if desired.

If successful the applicant will be based in the CCCS, a leading Australian research centre in the humanities that supports broad-ranging research in cultural and media studies. Current research emphases include the environmental humanities, surveillance studies, digital media, media studies, cinema studies, new materialities and nationalism studies. The Centre provides a rigorous, supportive and collaborative research environment and has assisted many outstanding early career researchers to develop their research capacities and careers. It has also helped UQ earn top ERA rankings in cultural and media studies research. For more information about the Centre see www.cccs.uq.edu.au<http://www.cccs.uq.edu.au>.

Applicants for UQ Postdoctoral Fellowships must have no more than five years full time professional research experience or equivalent part time experience since the award of a Ph.D. An applicant who does not hold a doctoral degree at the time of application may be offered an appointment if evidence is subsequently provided that a doctoral thesis will be submitted by the end of 2014. Assessment criteria will include the excellence of the researcher and the quality of the research program to be undertaken. Applicants must have an outstanding track record relative to opportunity and a demonstrated capacity for undertaking original work. In addition, the selection process will consider the alignment of the proposed research with the Centre's research environment. Typically, applicants have already published their work in top academic journals or have demonstrated similar research achievements.

The 2013 salary range for the award ranged from A$70,000 to $78,000 per annum based on experience. The fellowship also comes with maintenance funds (to be spent on research, travel, and equipment) totalling $20,000 over three years, and relocation reimbursement. For more details about the UQ Postdoctoral Research Fellowships, including eligibility and assessment criteria, please refer to UQ Research and Innovation<http://www.uq.edu.au/research/research-management/uq-postdoctoral-research-fellowships>.
