PhD Scholarships for Research in Indonesia
Expressions of interest are sought for two PhD scholarship positions to
carry out field research in Indonesia on community, environment and
local governance issues.
The successful candidates will work with a team of experienced
researchers – Dr Greg Acciaioli (UWA), A/Prof Anton Lucas and Dr Jim
Schiller (Flinders), Dr John McCarthy (ANU), and A/Prof Carol Warren
(Murdoch), as well as collaborating researchers in the Netherlands and
Indonesia on an Australian Research Council Discovery Project entitled
`Social Capital, Natural Resources and Local Governance in Indonesia`.
The project will focus on case studies of local decision-making on
environmental issues in the context of conservation and development
programs in different regions of Indonesia. It aims to improve
understanding of contemporary community dynamics in a range of cultural
and ecological settings, as well as the practical implications of local
participation and capacity building interventions for achieving equity
and sustainability outcomes.
The two candidates will be based at Flinders University in Adelaide and
Murdoch University in Perth respectively, with location and supervision
determined by the focus and site of each student`s component of the
project. It is anticipated that one student will work in a coastal
community where marine conservation issues are the focus of research,
while the second student will focus on a primarily agrarian research
site in which World Bank / AusAID / NGO local capacity building,
conservation and development projects are being conducted.
