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.

This scholarship will only be offered to international students who can demonstrate that tuition fees have been, or are being paid, by another agency.
