About this position
Charles Sturt University is offering two fully funded PhD scholarship positions as part of Professor Amy MacDonald's Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellowship project, focusing on 'Meaningful Assessment in Early Mathematics.' The project aims to develop innovative drawing tasks that help early years teachers elicit and assess a range of early mathematical concepts. Scholarship recipients will have the opportunity to co-design and conduct complementary studies alongside the main project, with potential topics including focusing on specific drawing tasks, exploring children's representations in drawings, or adapting tasks for pre-school settings.
The scholarships are open to domestic applicants who meet the university's standard PhD entry requirements. Early childhood and primary education professionals are particularly encouraged to apply. The funding package includes a stipend of $35,000 per annum for three years and six months, full tuition fee exemption, and operating funds for research expenses. Additional benefits include paid annual and sick leave, and eligibility for paid parental leave.
Applicants must contact Professor Amy MacDonald to discuss their proposed research topic before submitting a formal application.
