Overseas Research Fellowships are available to medical and science graduates who have completed a PhD or MD award within the last 24 months.

The purpose of the Heart Foundation's Overseas Research Fellowship scheme is to support the training of Australian researchers who seek to begin or maintain a postdoctoral position investigating cardiovascular research at a relevant institution overseas.

Applicants are expected to have at least two years of cardiovascular research experience and must be Australian citizens or have permanent residency status. 

Applicants who have already planned/taken up a postdoctoral position overseas may also apply, provided they are within 12 months of the commencement of the position (at the time of application).

Closing date

Applications close 12 April, 2010.  Please note that late applications will not be accepted.
