Postdocs Macquarie University - Australie
Macquarie University Research Fellowships Scheme (Australia)
Macquarie University will offer up to six new postdoctoral research positions commencing in 2009 through the Macquarie University Research Fellowships Scheme. Positions will be awarded on a competitive basis and will be full time for three years.
The Macquarie University Research Fellowships Scheme has three main objectives:
1. To provide support at a postdoctoral level to researchers near the beginning of their research career who have an outstanding track record (relevant to opportunity) or who show evidence of excellent research potential.
2. To provide an incubation research period for early career researchers, allowing them to increase their competitive edge in securing research funding from non-University sources.
3. To enhance the research capabilities of existing and emerging areas of research concentration and excellence within Macquarie University.
Centre for Research on Social Inclusion is keen to attract suitable applicants to apply for one of these fellowships through the Centre. The Centre for Research on Social Inclusion is an interdisciplinary group of researchers from disciplines such as Anthropology, Sociology, Philosophy, Cultural Studies, and Human Geography. We undertake social, cultural and
philosophical research into contemporary social justice issues. Broadly defined, this includes research into the social, cultural, economic, and political determinations of inclusion and exclusion, particularly in the context of globalisation. Issues such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, age, place, and globalisation are explored from a variety of disciplinary and methodological perspectives. Within the broad rubric of social and cultural inclusion, we have five areas of special research strength:
* Migration, Multiculturalism and Nation
* Critical Theory and Social Hope
* Welfare, Care and Social Policy
* The Postcolonial World and Globalisation
* Inclusion and Exclusion in Urban and Regional Spaces
Potential candidates whose interests fit the centre should contact CRSI (crsi(at)scmp(point)mq(point)edu(point)au ) in the first instance, providing an indication of proposed topic of research, and a short CV.
