Applications are now open for the
inaugural inspiring women fellowships 

veski, supported by the Office of the Lead Scientist, is calling for applications
for the inspiring women fellowships. The inspiring women fellowships, funded
by the State Government of Victoria, are designed to support female leaders
who are planning for, experiencing, or returning from a career break.   

The inspiring women fellowships will
provide the opportunity to allow these
female leaders to remain competitive in
their field; enhancing the current talent
pool and affecting cultural change.   

Applications are sought from early to
mid-career female researchers in STEM
disciplines within a Victorian academic or
research institution who are experiencing
or anticipating difficulties juggling their
career and family or carer commitments,
or have other compounding reasons for
requiring the support of a fellowship. 

During 2015/16 three fellowships will be made available and successful individuals may receive up to AUD$150,000 distributed over a period of three years. 

The application guide, application form and referee report form can be found here.

The fellowships form part of a broader veski inspiring women program to support, inspire and inform. This includes a series of professional development & networking workshops.
