> Dear Colleague, 
> 
> You, or someone you know or work with, may be interested in the following opportunities at The University of Melbourne. 
> 
> In 2015, the University will offer a McKenzie Postdoctoral Fellowship for an Indigenous Australian, to be held in any discipline, and two Poche Postdoctoral Fellowships to support outstanding Indigenous doctoral graduates in the field of health. 
> 
> It is our vision to grow the number of Indigenous researchers at the University and foster excellence and impact in Indigenous research, across all disciplines. The Research at Melbourne strategy describes three grand challenges that tie together the University’s approach to research: understanding our place and purpose; supporting sustainability and resilience; and fostering health and wellbeing. By addressing these grand challenges, we seek to bolster our efforts to improve all dimensions of the human condition through our research. Critical to this is fostering and supporting greater engagement with Indigenous researchers, Indigenous research and Indigenous knowledge.
>  
> The University is a centre for comprehensive Indigenous studies as well as a place of study, work and collaboration for Indigenous scholars. As an Indigenous Postdoctoral Fellow, the University of Melbourne offers you unparalleled access to a culture and context of innovative thinking, extensive networks and support systems, and the opportunity to join one of the country’s largest and most respected research institutions. Indigenous Chairs, appointed across a number of disciplines, provide important academic leadership, along with the Murrup Barak, Melbourne Institute for Indigenous Development, that was established to increase the impact of the University’s Indigenous programs and maximise its contribution to Indigenous development. 
> 
> Melbourne is a global city, characterised by a vibrant cultural diversity. The University of Melbourne’s Parkville campus is located on Wurrundjeri country, close to the city centre. We have a number of campuses across Victoria where potential applicants might locate, depending on their disciplinary area. Recognising the invaluable contribution that diversity brings to everyday life, central to which is Indigenous people's knowledge and perspective, the University of Melbourne seeks to encourage and support excellence in Indigenous research.
