The scholarship recipient will work under the Macquarie University Node of the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (CEVAW) led by Distinguished Professor Bronwyn Carlson in the Department of Critical Indigenous Studies.
CEVAW is the world’s first centre to tackle the full range of forms of violence against women in Australia and the Indo-Pacific region. CEVAW aims to transform our understanding of the problem by:
CEVAW will generate fundamental knowledge on the causes of violence, the contexts in which it occurs, and the most effective and efficient responses. This interdisciplinary research will be data-driven, Indigenous-centred and co-designed with partners.
CEVAW brings together more than 40 world-leading experts to develop scalable approaches to eliminate violence against women across the legal, security, economic, health and political systems of Australia and the region.
By building strategic and strong partnerships with Australian and international research institutions and partner organisations, CEVAW will translate research into innovative tools and strengthened capacity to drive the elimination of violence against women.
With almost $50M investment from the ARC and contributing organisations, CEVAW is poised to make a significant, global impact.
The PhD scholar will benefit from unique supervision and mentoring opportunities afforded by CEVAW’s Chief Investigators from different Australian universities as well as networking opportunities across academia and industry through CEVAW’s partner organisations, nationally and internationally.
The scholarships are available to domestic candidates (citizens or permanent residents of Australia and New Zealand) eligible to undertake a direct entry, three-year PhD program.
Each scholarship comprises:
The value of each stipend scholarship is $38,500 per annum (full-time, indexed rate) for three years.
Indigenous students will also receive a top-up scholarship of $12,000 per annum, bringing the total value of the stipend to $50,500 per annum.
