Endowed research chairs and new postdoctoral fellowships will guarantee our State’s future as a knowledge powerhouse, attracting and retaining a globally-focussed generation of academic leaders.

UWA is one of the top universities in the world for research and teaching in dryland agriculture and food production systems. The reputation of the University, the track record of the academics and beautiful Perth: those are the things that attracted me to UWA.
