Each year the Australian Research Council tries to lure researchers back home

Many of Australia’s mid-career researchers work overseas. The Australian Research Council’s Future Fellowships scheme aims, in part, to entice them back. In this article from 2017, Gerd Winter spoke to Tim Bayne, a professor of philosophy who moved back to Monash University on a fellowship.

The 2023 round of Future Fellowships will open this Autumn with a deadline likely in December. In the previous round, up to 100 fellowships were available, each worth up to A$232,481 per year for four years, depending on academic salary level. A further A$60,000 per year was available for project funding.
