About Us

Edith Cowan University is a leading institution dedicated to advancing social justice and improving the quality of life for all. Our School of Arts and Humanities exists to create new and more positive conditions for human achievement and social change.

We strive to foster realisation of individual human potential, promote equal and positive social relations, and enable diverse creative expression. Our research focuses on seven priority concerns: care, climate change, decolonisation, digital futures, intersectional inclusion, global transformation, and storytelling.

Our Mission

We conduct transdisciplinary research using participatory methodologies in the context of global environmental change. Our mission is to reconnect people, ecosystems, and place-based knowledges for universal well-being. We aim to transform human-environment relations through just and collaborative processes.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced Post-Doctoral Research Fellow to join our team. This part-time, fixed-term position offers a unique opportunity to take a leading role in the development and management of our feminist participatory action research for climate justice.

A key project focuses on enhancing climate justice and disaster resilience in the Western Australian community services sector. You will work alongside community service organisations (CSOs), Aboriginal Traditional Owners, and people with Lived Experience to develop an online Climate Justice and Resilience Toolkit. This toolkit will provide publicly available resources and tools to support CSOs to embed climate justice and disaster resilience in their operations, policies, programs, and practices.

Your Responsibilities
  • Facilitate participatory action research with community service organisations about climate justice and disaster resilience.
  • Collaborate with community and academic partners to develop and manage projects in climate justice.
  • Write grant applications to secure funding for new initiatives.
  • Co-author manuscripts for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
  • Conduct comprehensive qualitative and/or quantitative data analysis.
  • Perform additional duties as required to support the team's goals.
Requirements
  • PhD in an appropriate discipline.
  • Proven experience in participatory action research, preferably research that is feminist, anti-colonial, and place-based, and particularly in the climate justice field.
  • Knowledge of climate change in WA, the relationship between climate change and social justice, and the community services sector.
  • Demonstrated experience of working collectively with Aboriginal communities and/or diverse peoples with Lived Experience, including appropriate protocols for engagement.
  • Excellent writing skills with a track record of publishing in peer-reviewed journals.
  • Demonstrated capacity to secure research funding.
  • Excellent analytical skills with experience in both qualitative and quantitative data analysis.
  • Effective communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to engage a variety of audiences and translate research to address the needs and priorities for communities and/or organisations.
  • Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively in a transdisciplinary team and with external community partners, and in building relationships with diverse groups of people.
Remuneration and Benefits

This part-time, fixed-term position attracts remuneration of $113,918 to $134,596 per annum (pro rata) plus 17% University superannuation contribution. ECU supports a work/life balance for staff, offering flexible working arrangements and an Award-winning Health and Wellness Program.
