MQ Research Fellowships 2014

From its inception Macquarie has striven to be a university that crosses traditional disciplinary boundaries. Our goal is to make Macquarie University one of the leading research universities in Australia, and the world. Having recently earned a rating of 5 QS Stars, including the highest rating for employability, Macquarie is definitively a world-class university - for students and staff. We're investing heavily in new buildings, courses and staff as well as collaborating with businesses here and around the world such as Cochlear, Intel and CSIRO.

One of the most talked-about aspects of Macquarie is the expansive, park-like campus surrounding us. With our new high-tech library, private teaching hospital, gym and pools, childcare facilities and our own railway station, Macquarie is also a great campus to have as your workplace.
