Vice-Chancellor's Indigenous Doctoral Fellow Scheme - RMIT University
- About the VCIDF scheme
The RMIT Vice-Chancellor's Indigenous Doctoral Fellow (VCIDF) scheme supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander scholars to lead research that shapes knowledge, communities, and institutions. It responds to national priorities to boost Indigenous participation, retention, and success in higher education, as outlined in the Universities Australia Indigenous Strategy and the Australian Universities Accord.
By investing in Indigenous-led research from the very start of the academic journey, RMIT's VCIDF scheme ensures fellows can set their own research agendas, advance Indigenous knowledges, and influence institutional culture. Aligned with RMIT’s ‘Grow Our Own’ strategy, the scheme provides structured early-career pathways, combining mentorship, professional development, and cohort-based support to tackle barriers like isolation, underrepresentation, and limited tailored guidance.
Through the VCIDF scheme, RMIT is helping meet national targets for Indigenous HDR enrolments and completions, while fostering long-term academic leadership and research excellence.
The scheme is offered under the ‘Special Measures’ provision of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act 2010 and is open exclusively to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander applicants.
- Confirmation of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander heritage
is required once an offer is made.
