Aim

The purpose of the Macquarie University Fellowship for Indigenous Researchers (MUFIR) Scheme is fourfold:

  1. To provide support to an Australian Indigenous Researcher at the beginning of their research career or who is seeking to re-establish their research career following a career interruption.
  2. To provide support to Australian Indigenous Researchers within three years of the award of their PhD who have an outstanding track record (relative to opportunity) or who show evidence of excellent research potential.
  3. To enhance the research capabilities of existing and emerging areas of research strength at Macquarie University.
  4. To provide an incubation research period for early career Australian Indigenous Researchers, allowing them to increase their competitive edge in securing research funding from non-university sources.

Macquarie University will offer one full-time MUFIR position commencing in 2024, awarded on a competitive basis, and tenurable for three years. Fellows will be appointed at step 6, 7 or 8 of Level A of the Academic Salary Scale, plus annual leave loading and 17% employer superannuation. Applicants may apply for up to $50,000 over three years for research costs associated with the proposed project.
