IMPORTANT

I have just received information that October 2012 is the deadline for the Domestic Scholarship Round. This means that contrary to my previous advice, those of you who are thinking about enrolling as PhD candidates and wish to apply for 2013 Deakin University Scholarship schemes, must enrol by October 2012.

Those of you who have submitted or are about to submit your PhD dissertations may consider applying for the Alfred Deakin Postdoctoral Research Fellowships: http://www.deakin.edu.au/research/grants/opportunities/alfred-deakin-postdoctoral-fellowships.php

Although the 2014 round will open in April 2013, you need to begin about the potential project now.

There are lots of other funding opportunities for Post Docs, see: http://www.deakin.edu.au/research/grants/search.php
