Dear colleague,
Please find below some information about research positions (at the post-doc and lecturer/senior lecturer level) in the Music Cognition and Action area at the MARCS Institute, University of Western Sydney, Australia. While these positions are all fixed term, MARCS quite often creates continuing positions at all levels, and productive people in positions such as these are well placed to seek such ongoing opportunities, here and elsewhere. The post-doctoral fellowship is devoted to research, though holders may contribute modestly to teaching so as to develop their cv if they wish, while the teaching obligations of the other positions are very moderate. All incumbents will have the possibility of participating in research supervision together with their MARCS mentor.
If you know someone who may be interested in such a position, it would be great if you could forward this message to them.
Best wishes, Kate, Peter, Roger
(Kate Stevens, Peter Keller, Roger Dean). -----------------------------------------
