ARC announces DECRA Fellowships
The ARC has released the Funding Rules for 2012 Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA) scheme. The DECRAs replaces the Australian Postdoctoral Fellowships that were previously part of the Discovery Projects scheme. DECRAs are worth up to $125,000 per annum for three years. Applicants must be within five years of PhD at the time of submission but the ARC will consider applicants up to eight years post-PhD who have had significant career interruption.
Eskitis is seeking to recruit postdocs supported by this scheme to work on our projects in cancer, infectious diseases and neurological diseases. For potential projects and support please contact us at eskitis@griffith.edu.au.
