Melbourne Research PhD Scholarship

The Initiative for Peacebuilding at the University of Melbourne is inviting Expressions of Interest for a Melbourne Research PhD Scholarship commencing in 2027.

The PhD project will be hosted in the Faculty of Arts, specifically the School of Social and Political Sciences, and embedded in the Initiative for Peacebuilding. The research focus is on creative practices in peacebuilding in the region, with particular interest in how music, storytelling, and other creative practices support dialogue, intergenerational dialogue, and social transformation.

The post highlights contexts shaped by colonial legacies, conflict, and struggles for self-determination. It also mentions an opportunity to undertake an internship with Wantok Musik or another relevant peacebuilding organisation affiliated with the project partners, offering practical engagement with peacebuilding initiatives.

This is a PhD scholarship opportunity rather than a postdoctoral or master's opening. The announcement is made by Tania Miletic, Co-Director of the Initiative for Peacebuilding at the University of Melbourne. A co-supervision arrangement is mentioned with Lesley P. or Tania Miletic.

Interested applicants should review the full opportunity details and submit an Expression of Interest through the linked University of Melbourne page. The post does not provide a deadline, stipend amount, or detailed eligibility criteria in the text provided.
