To acknowledge the contribution made by the AFUW, the University of Adelaide has established in perpetuity, The Australian Federation of University Women – South Australian Postdoctoral Grants in their name.

The Australian Federation of University Women – SA Postdoctoral Grants are to be offered to two female postdoctoral fellows, with preference being given to applicants not more than 5 years out from their Doctor of Philosophy. The aim of these grants is to help female postdoctoral fellows to establish their careers. It is anticipated that each grant will be worth up to $5,000.

The grants will provide financial assistance to early career female postdoctoral fellows who will be presenting either a research poster or an oral research presentation at a conference, or requires small grant support for research not covered by other funding sources.  Examples of such support include:
  • Travel to make use of collections or laboratories
  • Cost of collection of data
  • Purchase of equipment
Selection for these grants will be based on the applicant’s track record, necessity of the travel to an applicant’s research scholarly activities, the standing of the conference (if applicable) and the expected benefits to the applicant.

The grants must be utilised in the year in which they are awarded.
