About This Opportunity

The Future Leader Fellowship supports aspiring leaders who are developing independence and developing their own research portfolio, through to established leaders of cardiovascular research groups with extensive research portfolios. The fellowship is designed for researchers at different career stages, offering three levels based on years post-PhD. Level 1 is for researchers 3-7 years post-PhD, Level 2 for 7-10 years post-PhD, and Level 3 for 10-15 years post-PhD. Applicants must be involved in cardiovascular research (including stroke research) and be from an NHMRC Administering Institution. The fellowship requires applicants to be based in Australia for at least 80% of the funding period and to have spent at least two years actively contributing to cardiovascular research. Applicants may apply to progress through the Future Leader levels but cannot receive the same level twice. The fellowship can be undertaken between 0.6 FTE to 1.0 FTE.
