About this position
Western Sydney University is advertising a Partner Project PhD Scholarship linked to ARC DECRA Research Fellow Catherine Hastings and the project “Advancing access to justice: identifying the causes of legal problems.”
The PhD will contribute to theoretical and applied knowledge about access to justice, legal problems, and intersectional disadvantage. The project is designed to better understand inequalities in people’s experiences of legal problems and to identify opportunities for meaningful reforms. There is flexibility in the exact thesis topic, so applicants can shape a project around a particular affected population, type of legal issue, experience of legal need, specific context, or an aspect of the legal assistance sector’s work.
Suitable applicants should come from a disciplinary background in sociology, law, human geography, psychology, public health, social work, cultural studies, or another relevant field. The scholarship is connected to the Law and Justice Foundation of NSW, whose work supports a fair and equitable justice system that addresses community legal needs.
This is a PhD opening rather than a postdoctoral or master’s opportunity. The post describes the scholarship as generous, but does not specify stipend amount, tuition coverage, or other financial details.
Deadline: 31 July 2026.
How to apply: Contact Catherine Hastings to discuss the opportunity further and use the LinkedIn post for more information. Prepare a project idea that aligns with the ARC DECRA and partner aims before the deadline.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
