Postdoctoral Fellows, Research Fellows and Fellows-Completions and Destinations

The School provides one of the very best environments for the education and research training of graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Our interest in their welfare extends well beyond the time spent at the RSC, in part through a comprehensive alumni program. Although the School was founded only thirty-three years ago, many of our alumni now occupy senior positions in academia, government and industry, both in Australia and overseas.
