Melbourne, Australia Deakin University Full time

**Job no**: 540627

**Work type**: Part-time

**Location**: Melbourne - Burwood

**Categories**: Education, Educational Design
- Based at our Melbourne, Burwood Campus
- Part-time 0.2 FTE and Fixed-term until 31 December 2025
- Level B $104,619 - $123,739 + 17% Superannuation (pro rata part time)

Founded in 1974, Deakin is a public university in Victoria with 61,000 students across five campuses: Melbourne Burwood, Geelong Waurn Ponds, Geelong Waterfront, Warrnambool, and the online Campus. We are a progressive and open-minded university, with the highest student satisfaction in Victoria and consistently ranked in the top 1% of the world’s universities.

The Research Fellow will be responsible for establishing, coordinating, and managing a principal testimonies survey and website which are part of the ARC Discovery research project, ‘Invisible labour: Principals’ emotional labour in volatile times. This three-year project partially funded by the ARC (2023-2025), involves researchers from Monash University, Deakin University and University of Sydney, a 0.6 research fellow based at Monash and an expert reference group. Through broad and in-depth methods of research, this qualitative study will investigate the intensified emotional management work of public-school principals, including the heightened social volatilities in which it is manifested and experienced. The survey and website which the research fellow will be responsible for coordinating and managing involves public school principals across Australia contributing a short anonymous testimony (written/audio) to a national survey that will run throughout the life of the project. They will be asked to post about a critical incident that has occurred under their leadership in relation to stakeholder groups and reflect on the emotional impact it has had on them as principals.

The Research Fellow is expected to coordinate and administer the principals’ testimonial survey and website, a crucial aspect of this ARC project in the field of educational leadership and the emotional labour of principals. This survey will be conducted in Year 1. A subsequent website will be established which will feature short excerpts from selected principals’ testimonies, stripped of identifying details and with participants’ permission. These will be added to throughout the life of the project. The research fellow will conduct activities to develop their research expertise relevant to the study of the emotional labour of principals managing diverse school communities. The Research Fellow will be expected to make, in collaboration with the project team, original contributions to research in the field of educational leadership and principal workforce development and to the inter-disciplinary area of education for social justice and equity.
