Adjunct Professor

The appointment of an adjunct professor is designed to enrich QUT's educational program by involving distinguished and talented professionals and academics in teaching and research activities. Eligible adjunct professors would expect to have doctoral qualifications or equivalent accreditation or standing.

Visiting Fellow

A visiting fellow is expected to make a contribution to the teaching and/or research programs of a faculty, school or research centre. The program is similar to that of an adjunct professor and is designed for those who don't quite meet the eligibility criteria for that role. A visiting fellow may be appointed at a level equivalent to one of the sub-professorial academic classifications (i.e. associate professor, senior lecturer, lecturer, associate lecturer).

Visiting Research Fellowship

To broaden the University's international perspective and to focus its research activities in the international, as well as the local and national community. This award is intended to bring researchers with an international reputation to QUT for short periods of time for collaborative research projects. Accordingly, fellowships may be offered in a faculty research centre or node. Candidates must be actively engaged in research of an international standing and may be from Australia or overseas.

ARC Linkages Programme.

The Commonwealth provides funding under Linkage - International for movement of researchers between Australian research institutions and centres of research excellence overseas. It supports two types of awards:

Fellowships are designed to build strong ongoing collaborations between research groupings or centres of excellence in Australia and in any other country, involving exchange of researchers at both senior and junior levels.

Fellowships are available for early career postdoctoral and senior researchers from France, Germany, South Korea and the United Kingdom. Chief Investigators must be employed by eligible higher education institutions.

Awards are designed to build links between research centres of excellence in Australia and any other country by funding extended collaborations. Chief Investigators must be Australian-based researchers or academics employed by an eligible higher education institution.
