Students
: OzGrav students are university students (e.g., PhD, Masters, Honours students or undergraduates) who will be working with OzGrav for 6 months or longer (e.g semester-long Honours projects) whose research projects make a substantial intellectual contribution to OzGrav. An OzGrav student can be enrolled at any higher degree granting institution, but should have an OzGrav CI as an official supervisor or co-supervisor. OzGrav will consider exceptions to this on a case-by-case basis. Pre-PhDs who are working in OzGrav prior to starting their PhD are also considered students. Students working with OzGrav for 6 months or longer are eligible for an OzGrav notebook and hoodie.
Vacation scholars/students usually join for a specific project for 6-10 weeks with any OzGrav member as project supervisor.
Postdoctoral researchers
: OzGrav Postdoctoral Researchers are employees of an OzGrav collaborating organisation who are classified on the academic pay scale and are funded at FTE 0.2 or higher from the OzGrav budget.
Postdoctoral Researchers
are responsible for producing the research, technical and outreach results associated with the OzGrav milestones and, where appropriate, may also co-supervise OzGrav students. OzGrav
Postdoctoral Researchers
typically have an OzGrav CI or AI as their line manager.
Affiliates
: OzGrav Affiliates are researchers who have an ongoing scientific association with OzGrav, but who are not CIs, PIs, AIs or staff. OzGrav Affiliates include independently funded researchers working alongside OzGrav researchers at OzGrav nodes, or researchers who have an involvement in OzGrav not warranting membership at the CI, PI or AI levels. Affiliates are not responsible for any OzGrav research deliverables, and their typical FTE contribution toward OzGrav activities is < 0.05 FTE.
Associate Investigators (AI)
: Associate Investigators (AIs) are scientists who are funded from a Collaborating Organisation, Partner Organisation or other source, and are participating in OzGrav research projects with specific deliverables. Associate Investigators are responsible for making an intellectual and strategic contribution to OzGrav in their specific area(s) of expertise. AIs will typically be researchers for whom membership at the CI or PI level is not suitable for logistical or strategic reasons. Their FTE on OzGrav research is typically 0.05 - 0.2 FTE.
Partner Investigators (PI)
: Partner Investigators (PIs) are leading researchers employed by partner organisations named in the OzGrav Multi-Institute Agreement. A PI must secure Cash Contributions and/or In-kind Contributions and/or contributions of other material resources from her/his Partner Organisation. PIs are responsible for making a substantial intellectual and strategic contribution to OzGrav. Where appropriate, they may also co-supervise OzGrav students. Their FTE on OzGrav research is typically 0.1 - 0.3 FTE.
Chief Investigators (CI)
: Chief Investigators (CIs) are senior researchers employed by collaborating organisations named in the OzGrav Collaborators' Agreement. CIs are responsible for making a substantial intellectual and strategic contribution to OzGrav, and for supervising OzGrav research staff, OzGrav professional staff and OzGrav students. Their FTE on OzGrav research is typically 0.3 - 0.8 FTE.
Visitors
: Visitors are academics and students from outside Australia who spend time working at an OzGrav node on a research project with a CI and other research staff. Visitors enhance the collaborative work between international researchers and OzGrav researchers. If a visitor will be continuing their work with OzGrav after they return to their home institution then apply for Affiliate membership instead. Visitors for 2 months or longer are eligible for an OzGrav notebook. Visitors for 6 months or more are eligible for an OzGrav tshirt OR hoodie.
Alumni
: Alumni are people who had membership status with OzGrav under one of the categories above, and who wish to join the OzGrav Alumni group so that they can stay in touch with OzGrav and receive the occasional email and electronic copies of our Annual Report. Applications to be an alumni are submitted via a
separate form
.
Please contact info@ozgrav.org with any questions about the membership categories and benefits.
