Excellence in Diversity Fellowship – Gender Equity in STEM

Introduction

To support the need for greater diversity and inclusion within the University of Melbourne, the Faculty of Science has recently developed targeted diversity strategies in the areas of Indigenous Engagement and Gender Equity. This Fellowship has been developed to support the aims of these strategies by attracting, supporting, and retaining outstanding early career researchers with significant potential for research, community impact and contribution to workplace culture. The Gender Equity fellowship is seeking to increase the representation of women in the academic workforce across science disciplines, and therefore strongly encourages applications from female candidates, in line with the special measure provided for under section 12 of the Equal Opportunity Act 2010 (VIC). We also encourage transgender and gender diverse candidates to apply.

The University offers a world-class and robust research environment that is internationally engaged and recognised, community focused, with many outstanding areas of research strength. The University is committed to building a brilliant, diverse, and vibrant University community to better meet its purpose; to benefit society through education and research.
