Ramsay Fellowships
In response to a generous donation from the Ramsay family, we support applications from outstanding researchers to conduct full-time research within the Faculty of Sciences.
The Ramsay Fellowship aims to:
- Advance knowledge and fundamental research in the natural sciences.
- Encourage general increase in research excellence.
- Increase research opportunities at The University of Adelaide.
- Provide opportunities for outstanding young Australian scientists and to enhance their potential as future scientific leaders.
History
The Ramsay Fellowship was established in 2008 with a significant bequest from the Ramsay family. The Ramsay family were founders of the Kiwi Polish Company (later Kiwi International), the famous shoe polish manufacturers. Hamish Ramsay fulfilled his late stepmother's wish to help advance scientific research by pledging funds for four-year Ramsay Fellowships.
Apply
Applications for the Ramsay Fellowship are normally open at the start of each year via the University's employment website.
