Henry Langley Postdoctoral Fellowship

Applications for this fellowship are now closed.

In 1988 the University of Sydney established a postdoctoral award for research into the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in accordance with the conditions of a bequest received from Mr Henry Langley in 1970. The Henry Langley Fellowship is available for postdoctoral research into rheumatoid arthritis at Sydney Medical School.

Conditions of Award

The Fellowship is awarded under the following conditions:

  1. The Fellowship shall be known as the Henry Langley Postdoctoral Fellowship
  2. The object of the Fellowship shall be to promote and encourage postdoctoral research into the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in the Sydney Medical School at the University of Sydney
  3. The Fellowships shall be awarded by the Dean of Sydney Medical School on the recommendation of the Research Committee of the Medical School, on the basis of academic merit and the appropriateness of the proposed research. In selecting fellows, preference will be given to applicants who have already embarked on research careers in the area of rheumatoid arthritis, and for whom the award of the fellowship can be seen as a significant contribution to the further development of their careers. Therefore, while senior scientists are not precluded from applying, preference will be given to scientists at an earlier stage of their careers i.e. within five years of award of their PhD
  4. The Fellowship will only be awarded to an applicant who holds the degree of Doctor of Philosophy or equivalent, as may be approved by the Research Committee of the Sydney Medical School
  5. The Fellowship is tenable for one year
  6. The successful applicant will be appointed at an appropriate level within the University of Sydney salary scale for Research Fellows. In addition, an appropriate clinical loading may be paid to eligible fellows. The Fellowship may not be held concurrently with any other award from the University of Sydney
  7. Subject to verification of the expenses actually incurred, the Fellowship may be accompanied by a grant-in-aid up to $5,000 to cover approved items such as technical assistance, equipment and consumables.

The Medical School reserves the right to not award the Fellowship should no applications of sufficient merit be received in any given year
