Barbara Kidman Fellowship Scheme

The University of Adelaide Barbara Kidman Women's Fellowship Scheme is designed to support female academics to enhance and promote their career.

The Scheme offers opportunities to enhance, maintain, or re-invigorate research momentum, and assist the Fellowship recipients in applying for, and assuming, enhanced roles in the near future. Preference will be given to those staff whose research momentum has been affected by caring responsibilities, resulting in career-disruption or reduced working hours.

Applications for the 2023 round are closed.

• be female academic staff already employed by the University of Adelaide at Levels B and C;

• have experienced a career disruption resulting from caring responsibilities within the last 5 years which has impacted on their work;
