About this position

Flinders University is advertising a PhD scholarship within the Talent Access Partnerships (TAP) initiative, a South Australian program based in Adelaide focused on creating employment opportunities for people with disability, with particular attention to autistic jobseekers.

The project examines how employer confidence, job customisation, and industry-cluster networks contribute to sustainable employment outcomes. The thesis is by publication and will combine a systematic review, longitudinal quantitative research, qualitative fieldwork, and a policy-relevant synthesis model.

The successful candidate will be embedded in HAVIClab and the Flinders Autism Research Initiative, joining a research environment with strengths in autism, neurodiversity-inclusive design, and employment research. Supervision is provided by Nathan Caruana (Primary Supervisor) and Dr Jung Yoon (Project Lead and Co-supervisor).

Applicants should have Honours (1st or 2A) or a Masters with a research component in psychology, HR/business, social sciences, or disability studies. Interest in disability/autism employment, organisational change, or neurodiversity research is expected. Quantitative and/or qualitative skills are welcome, and mixed-methods training will be provided. Strong writing is important for the thesis-by-publication format, and retail/hospitality experience is highly regarded.

The scholarship offers a $36,061 indexed stipend, 3 years full-time support, funded data collection, a dedicated workspace, and HDR conference support. Autistic and neurodivergent applicants, and those with lived experience of disability, are warmly encouraged to apply.

How to apply: send your CV, cover letter, writing samples, and references to [email protected] and [email protected]. The deadline is 30 November 2026, and applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Full details are available via the opportunity link.
