Nominations for the Australian Research Council (ARC) College of Experts 2027 are now open in the Research Management System (RMS) and will close at 5.00pm (AEST) on Thursday 9 July 2026.
The ARC is seeking nominations from suitably qualified and experienced individuals, including senior academics and end-users across the private, public and not-for-profit sectors, with peer review and research leadership experience. Researchers with multi-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary expertise are strongly encouraged to apply. We especially welcome nominations from women, particularly those from the STEM disciplines, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Nominees should have strong institutional support to meet the commitment required of ARC College of Experts members.
Nominations will not be accepted directly from nominees (except those submitting as self-employed). Nominees who hold an honorary or adjunct appointment with a higher education institution are eligible to apply through that institution.
Nominees who are employed by other organisations (for example: Industry or Government) will need to apply through their organisation.
Late nominations will not be accepted. Amendments or replacements will not be accepted after the closing date and time, unless invited by the ARC.
