I am pleased to share that two relevant Higher Degree by Research (HDR) projects have been advertised for the ECU 2026 Mid‑Year Scholarships round. The projects are titled ‘Exploring Teachers’ Professional Knowledge and Competencies’ and ‘Investigating Perceptions of Mathematics Among Students’, and both are available on the website at https://intranet.ecu.edu.au/research/higher-degree-by-research/opportunities-for-research-candidates/hdr-scholarships-round-rtp-and-ecuhdrs

I welcome Expressions of Interest (EOI) from suitable candidates with a strong interest in mathematics education, teacher competencies (knowledge, skills, understandings, beliefs), student learning outcomes (e.g., achievement, attitudes, perceptions), and qualitative, quantitative, or mixed‑methods research.

An EOI should include a current CV, a brief research proposal aligned with one of the advertised projects, academic transcripts, and evidence of research capacity such as an Honours or Master’s thesis, any scholarly publications. Shortlisted candidates may be invited to an interview to determine suitability and fit with the project.

Suitable candidates must submit a scholarship application via the ECU Online Scholarships Application Portal, which is open from 4 May 2026 to 11:59pm AWST on 31 May 2026, on https://www.ecu.edu.au/scholarships/details/ecu-hdr-scholarship. Candidates who do not already hold a course offer will also be required to submit a course application.

I would be pleased to hear from you, who interested in undertaking HDR research in mathematics education through these projects.
