About the Pacific Research Colloquium (PRC)

Each year the State Society and Governance in Melanesia (SSGM) Program at the Australian National University brings early career social science researchers from the Pacific (including Papua and Timor-Leste) to a two week intensive workshop in Canberra, Australia, to work with experienced researchers and develop skills for social science research in the Pacific.

Examples of social science research fields include anthropology, development studies, political science or public administration, gender studies, geography, sociology, Pacific Studies, public health, and law.

The PRC is part of SSGM’s broader commitment to building social science research skills in the Pacific, including Papua and Timor-Leste.

Who Can Apply
1. We offer a limited number of scholarships to early career social science researchers from the Pacific, Papua and Timor-Leste to participate in the PRC. Scholarships pay full travel costs to and from Canberra, accommodation and living expenses.

2. A limited number of positions may be available for: (a) Pacific researchers funded by an institution (e.g. university, government agency, NGO), subject to applicants meeting selection criteria, and to agreed arrangements between the institution and SSGM; (b) Early career Australian and New Zealand researchers doing Pacific-related social science attending on a self-funded basis.

To apply to attend the PRC you need to:

  *   Be currently undertaking social science research;
  *   Be doing research on, or applicable to, the Pacific;
  *   Hold a passport & be eligible for an Australian visa. .
You do not need to be a university graduate.

The 2 week program includes:

  *   Intensive training on designing, planning, conducting, and writing reports on, research projects
  *   SSGM and other ANU scholars providing mentoring and feedback on your research projects and papers
  *   Guided introductions to research resources
  *   Visit to Parliament and social events
To encourage high standard work, we offer a separate four week visiting fellowship to the participant from the Pacific who authors the most outstanding paper presented at the PRC. The fellowship includes an opportunity to present at the 2016 State of the Pacific Conference (to be held in the second half of 2016) at ANU.

SSGM also offers all interested PRC participants ongoing mentoring as they develop their research projects and write publications after the PRC. Participants may have the opportunity to submit papers for publication as SSGM Discussion Papers or In Briefs.

Application Deadline: 15 June 2015

Successful Applicants will be notified by 15 July 2015. They will be required to submit a complete first draft paper by 15 September 2015. Final approval to attend (and award of Scholarships) will depend on SSGM receiving the draft paper by the due date. We will send mentor’s comments on the first draft. Then we will require a second draft of the paper, taking account of the mentor’s comments, to be sent to us by late December 2015. Air travel tickets (for Scholarship awardees) will not be provided until we receive the second draft.
