CRADLE Fellowship applications are now open
25 September 2018
The spring 2018 round of CRADLE Fellowship applications is now open! If you’re a Deakin staff member interested in researching assessment in higher education, don’t miss this opportunity to undertake up to 12 months’ research with the support and mentorship of CRADLE’s leading higher education researchers.
CRADLE welcomes applications from post-PhD researchers at every career stage, from early career to senior scholars. Applicants must be a current Deakin staff member, and must be able to demonstrate the relevance of their proposed research to CRADLE’s current research activities or interests. Relevant topics include:
- Feedback
- Evaluative judgment
- Workplace (and authentic) assessment
- Academic integrity
- Failure and underperformance
- Students’ contribution to assessment
- Engagement/agency/self- and peer assessment
- Assessment and identity development
- Programmatic assessment
- Understanding the role of (digital) design in assessment
CRADLE Fellowships offer funding of $15,000 to support Fellows’ research programs. It is anticipated that this funding will be used for research costs (e.g. research assistance or transcription), professional development (e.g. methodological training), and dissemination (e.g. conference attendance). In some circumstances, and upon application to CRADLE, buying out teaching time may be considered. To be clear, the CRADLE Fellowship is not a job, and carries no remuneration.
