[ecrea] UQ postdoc in critical and cultural studies

The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia

The Centre for Critical and Cultural Studies (CCCS) at the University of 
Queensland is seeking expressions of interest for applications for 3 
year UQ Postdoctoral Research Fellowships for 2014-2016. The UQ 
postdoctoral scheme seeks to attract talented early career researchers 
with well-developed research programs and strong track records. The 
fellowships support full time research, although it is possible to 
organise some teaching experience if desired.

If successful the applicant will be based in the CCCS, a leading 
Australian research centre in the humanities that supports broad-ranging 
research in cultural and media studies. Current research emphases 
include the environmental humanities, surveillance studies, television 
studies, Australian cultural history, cinema studies, new materialities, 
celebrity, and media anthropology. The Centre provides a rigorous, 
supportive and collaborative research environment and has assisted many 
outstanding early career researchers to develop their research 
capacities and careers. It has also helped UQ earn top ERA rankings in 
cultural and media studies research. For more information about the 
Centre see www.cccs.uq.edu.au.

Applicants for UQ Postdoctoral Fellowships must have no more than five 
years full time professional research experience or equivalent part time 
experience since the award of a Ph.D. An applicant who does not hold a 
doctoral degree at the time of application may be offered an appointment 
if evidence is subsequently provided that a doctoral thesis will be 
submitted by the end of 2013. Assessment criteria will include the 
excellence of the researcher and the quality of the research program to 
be undertaken. Applicants must have an outstanding track record relative 
to opportunity and a demonstrated capacity for undertaking original 
work. In addition, the selection process will consider the alignment of 
the proposed research with exisiting research strengths in the Centre. 
Typically, applicants have already published their work in top academic 
journals or have demonstrated similar research achievements.

The 2012 salary range for the award ranged from A$68,000 to $76,000 per 
annum based on experience. The fellowship also comes with maintenance 
funds (to be spent on research, travel, and equipment) totalling $20,000 
over three years and relocation reimbursement. For more details about 
the UQ Postdoctoral Research Fellowships, including eligibility and
