PhD scholarship at CAEPR The Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research (CAEPR)

Overview

Philanthropy and Indigenous People: Enhancing Indigenous Education Outcomes

The Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research (CAEPR), located at the Australian National University, invites applications for an Australian Postgraduate Award (Industry) scholarship leading to the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD). The scholarship is funded via the Australian Research Council.

Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team, the PhD candidate will participate in research that aims to critically assess the degree to which philanthropic interventions improve Indigenous education outcomes-from both Indigenous and philanthropic perspectives-with the goal of identifying or developing models, strategies and principles of effective partnership and engagement. The student will work directly with project Chief Investigators Dr Jerry Schwab and Dr Janet Hunt. In addition, the student will receive support from staff of the project Partner Organisation, the Melbourne Community Foundation and members of the project Advisory Committee, who will provide advice, assist with analysing findings and facilitate access to other philanthropic groups in Melbourne and across the nation.

The project aims to inform the development of new practical and theoretical approaches to building partnerships and enhancing Indigenous education outcomes. The project initially will focus on Melbourne and extend as appropriate to other parts of Victoria and nationally during the period 2010-13. The scholar will be required to have a background in anthropology, education or a similar social science discipline.

A demonstrated knowledge of and interest in Indigenous Australian communities and people is required.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are particularly encouraged to apply.

The scholarship includes a stipend of $27,222 per annum (tax free) for three years.
