Qualifications

About this scholarship
 
A unique funded opportunity to be part of a network of leading displacement scholars and to contribute to building the global evidence-base for preventing and responding to violence against women and girls. 

A scholarship is available at ANU for an outstanding domestic or international student to undertake a PhD on the topic of violence against women and displacement in the Pacific. The successful candidate will be enrolled full-time in a program of study for the degree of PhD in the ANU Department of International Relations, Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, College of Asia and the Pacific. The student will also become part of a cohort of PhD scholars within the Australian Research Council’s Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (CEVAW)

This Centre aims to transform our understanding of the problem by examining the structural drivers that cause and compound violence against women, and pioneering new, evidence-based approaches to radically improve policy and practice across Australia and the Indo-Pacific. The CEVAW network comprises 13 Chief Investigators from six Australian universities, and at least 45 Australian and international partner organisations. The Centre mobilises Indigenous and survivor-centred approaches, interdisciplinary collaborations, and Indo-Pacific partnerships to deliver scalable approaches to eliminate violence against women across the legal, security, economic, health, and political systems of Australia and the region.

Working collaboratively with diverse stakeholders across the Pacific regions, Asia and in Australia, this funded PhD position is supported through the Australian Research Council (ARC) CEVAW and the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, as part of the research stream on violence in the context of Migration and Trafficking – led by Chief Investigator Professor Bina D'Costa.

The successful applicant will develop and carry out a project that aligns with the broader purpose of CEVAW, to develop the academic evidence base on violence against women in displacement and emergency contexts in the Pacific. This project may include research on prevention of conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence or violence against women in the context of natural and climate-induced disasters, or other emergencies in the Pacific.
