University of Queensland Fellowships in Australia
Applications are invited for University of Queensland (UQ) Development Fellowships awarded to early career researchers in Australia. International students are eligible to apply for this fellowship program. The University of Queensland Development Fellowships aim to foster development of the most promising early career researchers and retain mid-career and senior academic staff of exceptional calibre at the University. By investing in the best and brightest talent across all career levels, the UQ Development Fellowships facilitate a trajectory of continued excellence and impact in research, teaching and service at UQ.
