* 5 year fixed term contract
*Postdoctoral Fellowships*
The China Research Centre at UTS is Australia's most productive and
dynamic unit researching social and cultural change in China. Building
on our history in promoting studies of Provincial China, we now expand
our focus to explore the key issues of China's development in the
twenty-first century:
* Environment, Space and Resource Use
* Health and Disease
* Business and Enterprise Reform
We are assembling dynamic teams of researchers to examine how China
faces challenges in these areas. In addition to making a number of
strategic senior appointments we invite applications for a number of
5-year Postdoctoral Fellowships.
In the first round we seek applicants keen to contribute to
international knowledge on the three areas above.
The Centre has an outstanding reputation for collaborative research
leadership in China Studies, including the ARC Asia Pacific Futures
Research Network and the annual Provincial China Symposia.
The Centre takes a collaborative approach to research that recognizes
the need to disaggregate social and cultural change in China by
locality, class and gender. Centre staff work regularly together on
collective projects, publications and symposia.
This is an opportunity for the best and brightest early career
researchers to work on issues of pressing global concern from a China focus.
Fellows will initially be appointed at Lecturer Level B. Salary range as
at 1 May 2008 is $70,309 to $83,474 per annum. The University offers
salary packaging plus 17% employer superannuation contribution.
