PhD Scholarships Now Open:
Mapping & Harnessing Public Mis/Trust
Griffith University, Australia
University of Sydney, Australia
Applications open until 28 February 2025
We are currently looking for two PhD candidates to join an Australian
Research Council-funded team, which is mapping and studying public trust
and mistrust in political institutions and systems in Australia.
These three-year
scholarships will commence in 2025. The two awards are each for
approximately AUD37,000 per year.
The project involves a five-member senior multi-university research team,
along with a post-doctoral fellow and three doctoral students. Successful
candidates will have access to high quality, national, experimental data on
citizen perceptions and attitudes, through new waves of the Australian
Constitutional Values Survey.
The Griffith University scholarship will be based in the School of
Government and International Relations at the Nathan (Brisbane) campus,
supervised by the project leader Professor A J Brown and Dr Max Grömping.
Online applications are now open until 28 February on the Griffith
University website:
