Postdoctoral fellowships
Henry Langley Postdoctoral Fellowship
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 in Sydney Medical School at the University of Sydney and is awarded on the basis of academic merit and appropriateness of the proposed research on the recommendation of the Research Committee of Sydney Medical School. The Fellowship takes the form of a research-only appointment at a level commensurate with the Fellow’s qualifications and experience. The Fellowship may not be held concurrently with any other award from the University of Sydney. Qualifying recipients may be paid an appropriate clinical loading. The Fellowship also provides for a grant-in-aid of $5000 per annum for travel, consumables and equipment.
Due to funding reasons this fellowship will not be offered in 2009
Conditions of Award
The object of the Henry Langley Postdoctoral Fellowship is to promote and encourage postdoctoral research into the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis in Sydney Medical School at the University of Sydney.

- The object of the Fellowships shall be to promote and encourage postdoctoral research in Sydney Medical School in the University of Sydney.
- The Fellowships shall be awarded by the Research Committee of Sydney Medical School on the basis of merit and the appropriateness of the proposed program.

- A Fellowship may only be awarded to an applicant who holds the degree of Doctor of Philosophy or who possess such equivalent standing as may be approved by the Research Committee of Sydney Medical School.
- The Fellowships are tenable for one year in the first instance but, subject to satisfactory progress, may be renewed for a second and third year. Fellowships may not be renewed beyond the third year, and Fellowship holders shall not be eligible for award of a new Rolf Edgar Lake Postdoctoral Fellowship on any subsequent occasion.
- The successful applicant will be appointed at an appropriate level within the University of Sydney salary scale for Research Fellows. Qualifying recipients shall also be paid an appropriate clinical loading. The Fellowships may not be held concurrently with any other award from the University of Sydney.
- Subject to verification of the expenses actually incurred, a Fellowship may be accompanied by a grant-in-aid up to $15,000 to cover approved items such as technical assistance, equipment and consumables.
