Australian Antarctic Science Program - Co-Funded Postdoctoral Fellowship Grants
Sponsor: Department of the Environment and Energy (Cth) 		Closing Date: 09-Oct-2018
The Australian Antarctic Science Program provides research scientists with access to government logistics for high quality research about Antarctica.

Aims
The expected outcome of the Australian Antarctic Science Program (AASP) is to deliver high quality research that advances Australia’s strategic, scientific and environmental interests in the Antarctic through four research themes:
• Climate processes and change
• Terrestrial and nearshore ecosystem: environmental change and conservation
• Southern ocean ecosystem: environmental change and conservation
• Frontier science

Eligibility
CIs must meet at least one of the following criteria at the time of application and for the full term of their participation in the project:
• be an employee for at least half time (50% FTE) at one Australian eligible organisation, or
• be a holder of an Emeritus, Adjunct or equivalent appointment at an Australian eligible organisation and not be employed more than half time (50% FTE) at another organisation that is outside the higher education sector, or engages in research funded predominantly from state/territory or Australian Government funding sources.

Funding
• These grants are available for a maximum of three years and must include matching funding from the host university.
• A research project grant cannot be sought in addition to a co-funded postdoctoral fellowship grant for the same project.
• The maximum grant funding amount for co-funded postdoctoral fellowship grants is $50,000 per year for a maximum of three years for salary (pro-rata amounts will apply to part-time applicants). An additional $5,000 per year may be requested for operating costs to undertake the project.
• The total amount requested for a co-funded postdoctoral fellowship salary must be matched by the host university and distributed evenly over the life of the project. Co-funding cannot be provided from another Australian Government grant.
