PhD scholarship ? ?Cosmopolitan development: the impact of international
volunteering?

$ 25,000 per year (3 years max)

Applications are invited for one PhD scholarship that will complement the
research of Associate Professor Susanne Schech's ARC Linkage Project within
the organisation at Flinders University.
The ARC project will examine how international volunteering contributes to
the relationships between Australia and its partner countries, and how it
transforms the ways volunteers and host organisations perceive and respond
to global challenges. The research team will conduct theoretically informed
empirical research on development volunteering across several countries in
Asia and the Pacific.
While the successful candidate will have scope to define a relevant
research topic it is envisaged that the scholarships may explore gender or
cultural diversity issues in international volunteering.

BENEFITS
The scholarship will be awarded for a maximum of three years. The annual
stipend is $25,000 (tax free). Additional funding is available for
international fieldwork.
