Mobility opportunities for Monash staff

27 February 2008

Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education), Professor Adam Shoemaker says the staff mobility program increases the opportunities available to staff for professional development.

University staff have an opportunity to experience Monash from different locations and perspectives, thanks to the continuation of the mobility initiative.

This year there are two programs being offered: the Cross Campus Staff Mobility Program and the Travelling Fellowship Award.

The Cross Campus Staff Mobility Program is offered to enhance inter-campus movement between Monash's Australian, South African and Malaysian campuses, and the Monash Centre in Prato.

The Travelling Fellowship Award is open to general staff and is aimed at enhancing opportunities for participation in professional development in Australia or overseas.

Both programs will be funded from the Education portfolio and so the emphasis is on excellence in teaching and learning. Successful applications will be funded up to $6000.

Professor Adam Shoemaker, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) said mobility was a fundamental building block for Monash's continued development as an international university with a significant global presence.

"These programs are designed to encourage productive collaboration across our network of campuses and centres, and to increase the opportunities available to staff for professional development," Professor Shoemaker said.

For more information about the programs, eligibility and selection criteria and details on how to apply, please visit the Staff Mobility at Monash website.

Closing date for applications is 7 March 2008.

In 2007 over 40 staff members were successful under the Staff Mobility Program.
