Australian Research Council Training Centre scholarship

The ARC Training Centre for Archaeology in the Resources Sector is recruiting PhD students for full scholarships in Australia.

This opportunity is centered on archaeology, cultural heritage, and heritage management in the mining/resource sector, with a strong focus on how companies engage with cultural heritage management and responsible mining practices.

The Training Centre is described as a 5-year, $18m collaboration involving Aboriginal communities, mining companies, and cultural heritage/resource consulting firms. It is building a PhD cohort and also mentions additional postdoctoral research fellowships to be available soon.

There are currently 5 PhD scholarships available, with 9 more expected over the next 12 months. The post says the scholarships are full scholarships and open to promising graduate students from across the globe.

Applicants should review the PhD project descriptions and apply via the Flinders University application page. The deadline has been extended to June 15.

For questions, the post directs applicants to the Centre’s Director, Prof Liam Brady, or Emma Juggins at Flinders University.
