Gender-based violence (GBV)
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.

Eligibility

The Award will be available in 2025 or 2026 to a prospective, domestic or international student who:

has expertise or a demonstrated interest in the elimination of violence against women in migration and trafficking situations

has completed an Australian University Masters degree with honours (at the level honours 2A or above), or equivalent prior studies in Australia or elsewhere (for example a Bachelor degree with First Class Honours or equivalent; and Master’s degree with a significant research thesis component), and/or has relevant experience that includes a significant research component in the field of women’s public health and/or migration and trafficking.

Applicants with lived experience of displacement, Pasifika, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and/or other First Nations Peoples and/or those from the region are prioritised and strongly encouraged to apply.

The project examines how menstruators’ lives are shaped by socio-cultural norms and processes of compounded stigmatization and marginalization.

Your duties and responsibilities include:
 Develop the research design for the PhD project at the intersection of menstruation, gender and informality and obtain ethical clearance in line with the goals of the funding award  Collect data through interviews and focus groups and other empirical methods and conduct data analysis and management
 Collaborate with team members on other components of the project (in particular on other forms of marginalization and stigmatization)
 Write and publish in peer-reviewed venues
 Support other activities as relevant during each stage of the project and participate in the activities of the Law group at Wageningen University and the Chair in Urban Law and Sustainability Governance at Stellenbosch University.

To meet the requirements of the role, you will bring:
 Advanced skills in research, analysis, critical thinking, and writing
 Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a team in a dynamic, interdisciplinary and intercultural research environment
 Outstanding communication skills that enable you to work in an intercultural setting across timezones and geographies
 Excellent organizational and management skills that enable you to balance different tasks and priorities
 Familiarity with the geographic and socio-cultural context of this South African case study
You must also have:
 A successfully completed MSc, MA, LLM or equivalent degree in law, sociology, anthropology, gender studies, socio-legal studies, public health, or other relevant discipline
 Interest in research on human rights, gender, and/or social movements
 Training in qualitative empirical research methods and/or socio-legal studies, ideally working with groups facing marginalization
 Familiarity with developments in the field of human rights and critiques of human rights
 In addition to English, fluency in other South African language(s) such as isiXhosa and Afrikaans will be considered a strong asset. Please indicate your language skills
