Ernest Scott Prize Shortlist | Kay Daniels Prize Shortlist | Magarey Medal Shortlist Fellowship in Modern History, Monash University, Melbourne | History in Conversation Series 2010 Heritage Council of NSW Advisory Panel | Manuscript Development Program for Fiction and Non-Fiction Writers Congratulations to Mrs Jessie Serle on the award of the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the Queen's Birthday Honours for 2010, for service to heritage conservation as an author and advocate and through advisory roles for the preservation and restoration of historic properties.
Overview Monash University is seeking to attract over 50 high performing early- to mid-career researchers through a Monash Fellowships Program. To this end, it has invited academic units in the University to submit applications for funding to appoint such researchers ('targeted recruits') and fund their research. There is a two-stage selection process. The Department of History proposes to select one applicant which it will nominate for a Monash Fellowship. If the Department's nomination is successful, it will offer a tenured appointment at Level B (salary range at 6 November 2010 $75,240 – $89,349 per annum), Level C (salary range $92,169 – $106,277) or Level D (salary range $110,981 – $122,263), according to academic experience and track record. During the first two years of appointment the successful applicant would not be required to undertake any teaching, but will be expected to apply for additional external funding (see below). The Department of History The Department of History (part of the School of Philosophical, Historical and International Studies) is inviting expressions of interest in these fellowships from historians working in Modern History and especially the long nineteenth century (1780–1914), and whose research interests complement the strengths of the Department, which lie in the areas of American, Asian, Australian and European History, especially social and cultural history, international/transnational history, memory, and the history of gender and race. For an overview of the School's current staff, see http://arts.monash.edu.au/historical-studies/staff/index.php. Those submitting expressions of interests should have a proven track record of winning externally funded research fellowships and grants (i.e. grants funded by bodies or institutions outside of their own university) as well as a strong publication record comprising at least one monograph and a series of articles in leading refereed journals. University's Conditions for Monash Fellowships The University's conditions for these fellowships include the following: Targeted recruits are expected to sign a Monash employment contract within one year of the award of the Monash Fellowship and to commence employment no later than 18 months after the award of the Fellowship. The Monash Fellowships are tenable only at Monash University and it is expected that the successful applicants will spend the majority of their time in the relevant Monash academic unit. The University will contribute towards the costs of recruits travelling to Melbourne to take up their fellowship and towards the costs incurred in removing household, personal effects, library and the like for the Fellow plus spouse and dependent children, in accordance with University policy. Department's Conditions In addition to the University's conditions for these fellowships, the Department of History will require:
The Department of History will submit an application to fund a Monash Fellow in a round that the University expects to hold in September this year, and we expect that the outcomes of such a round would be known by November. Submission Process Enquiries and Expressions of interest should be sent to Silvie Luscombe by Friday 16 July 2010. These should comprise a full curriculum vitae; a one page outline of the research project that you would propose for an ARC Fellowship application; and the names and contact details of three referees. No references should be sent unless requested.
A Northern Town Talk and Film Screening In 2009, the History Council NSW and the City of Sydney Library hosted a series of successful talks showcasing winners of the NSW Premier's History Award. In 2010, we are pleased to announce the return of our History in Conversation series, starting with A Northern Town. A Northern Town is a sobering look at racism in Kempsey, New South Wales. Set in an Indigenous owned and operated aged care facility housing both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people, this powerful documentary challenges the viewer to consider the past and present in new ways. Director, Rachel Lander, and Producer, Dylan Blowen, won the NSW Premier's History Award for Multimedia in 2009. They will show excerpts from the film and discuss its making.
