About the Opportunity:

We are looking for 2 Indigenous PhD candidates to join our team working on ‘Healthy Environments and Lives’ (HEAL) projects in the NT. I’d be really grateful if you could spread the word through your networks and socials. We can offer a scholarship package which is competitive with a professional salary for someone who can bring existing experience in the sector with them to this role. There are a range of on - ground projects which the candidate could consider, and all elements of our work focus on delivering on the research priorities identified by our HEAL partner organisations. The overarching theme across this work is to support Indigenous people of the NT and their governance arrangements which recognise Indigenous leadership, knowledge authority and decision making.

Diversity and Inclusion

At CDU we actively celebrate our diversity. We innovate, embrace new ideas, and act with courage and kindness. We’re about what we can give to the world rather than what we take, and we believe in the transformative power of education. We work hard to make sure every member of our university community feels that they truly belong. Understanding that it is through our focus on our people and leveraging our differences that will make CDU the most connected university in Australia, we are striving to ensure that our culture and our community is inclusive of all our staff, students and visitors. We are committed to maintaining a culture where everyone feels respected, safe, encouraged to speak up and supported in achieving their professional goals. Applications from First Nations people, women at all levels, culturally and linguistically diverse people, people with disability, neurotypical and neurodiverse people, LGBTIQ+ people, people with family and caring responsibilities and people at all stages of their careers are welcomed. You make CDU. And we want you to be exactly who you are.
