About this position
Monash University is seeking Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander applicants for PhD opportunities across all research areas. This expression of interest is framed as a pathway into doctoral research at Monash, with the successful applicant based at the Clayton campus in Melbourne or another Monash campus as designated or agreed.
The opening emphasises independent PhD research under expert academic supervision, with access to Monash’s research platforms and the option to undertake the doctorate through the Monash Doctoral Program or a Joint Research Award. The doctoral environment is presented as strongly research-led, with internationally recognised scholars and a wider institutional network spanning multiple campuses and international alliances in Europe and Asia.
The opportunity is designed for students who want to develop a thesis project with real impact while gaining advanced training, professional skills, and broader preparation for careers in academia, industry, government, or community settings after graduation. The advertisement positions the PhD as part of Monash’s wider research culture and postgraduate research ecosystem.
Applicants are invited to express interest rather than apply to a single fixed project, so the research topic will depend on the candidate’s field and fit within Monash’s broad range of research areas.
