Opportunities from the Research Office

 

Each Laureate application submitted by the Australian National University must contain a Letter of Support signed by the DVCR(I).

The letter of support has a significant impact upon the application. It must put forward a strong case that your application meets the central aims of the Laureate Scheme and has the full support of the University. The content must be agreed upon with your Head of School and Dean, and discussed with your College Research Office. Given the letter’s strategic significance, it must be drafted in close collaboration with your Director/Head of School and the Dean.

Join the RSD Research Funding Development Office and the DVCRI’s Executive Officer for a discussion of what the ARC requires in the letter and how to fine-tune your letter to meet the DVCRI’s strict requirements. Save valuable application development time and back-and-forth with stakeholders by drafting a successful letter early.

The Trinity Junior Research (‘Title A’) Fellowship is aimed at those who have been engaged in full-time research long enough to be able to demonstrate their exceptional talent: usually, therefore, those who are in the second, third year or later year of their full-time doctoral research or, in some cases, already have a PhD. The Research Fellowship provides an opportunity to spend up to four years in Cambridge undertaking post‐doctoral research or scholarly work at an early stage of an academic career.

The National Geographic Society and Microsoft’s AI for Earth program are partnering to support novel projects that create and deploy AI tools to improve the way we monitor, model, understand, and ultimately manage Earth’s natural resources for a more sustainable future.

Applicants may request $5,000 to $100,000. Successful applicants may use awarded funds over one year. In addition to financial support, successful applicants will receive free access to AI for Earth APIs, applications, tools, and tutorials, and support for their computational work on Microsoft Azure.
