Vice Chancellor's Excellence in Research Awards

CALL FOR NOMINATIONS FROM FACULTY DEANS AND SCHOOL DEANS FOR THE VICE CHANCELLOR’S EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH AWARDS

We invite you to nominate appropriate staff who meet the criteria in three categories of outstanding achievement in research.

The VC’s Excellence in Research Award for Distinguished and Sustained Achievement
This is the University’s premier award for research. It recognises the research achievements of a distinguished researcher who has provided sustained research performance and leadership over the previous ten to twenty years. The award winner will receive a medal and $4,000 to support their research endeavours.

The VC’s Excellence in Research Award for Outstanding Research Development
This award targets mid-career researchers. It recognises exceptional research performance and a growing role in research leadership over the previous five to ten years. The award winner will receive a medal and $2,000 to support their research endeavours.

The VC’s Excellence in Research Award for Early Career Development and Achievement
This award acknowledges early career researchers who have demonstrated a rapidly advancing research career ahead of what would be considered normal for the stage of their career. An early career researcher is defined as one who is either currently within his/her first eight years of academic or other research related employment, allowing for uninterrupted and stable research development, following completion of postgraduate research training or currently employed at Senior Lecturer level or below. The award winner will receive a medal and $2,000 to support their research endeavours.

Nominations for the 2008 awards will recognise excellence up to the end of 2007. The Award will be announced in May 2008. The nomination form and guidelines are available here. This is where you will link to the document I have attached.
