About the Role

The successful candidate will be responsible for facilitating and conducting research associated with various research projects, including the regulation of space activities in Australia and globally, the emergence of norms of behaviour about space activities, and military space activities generally.

Key Responsibilities
  • Conduct research and analysis on space governance issues
  • Develop and implement research projects and protocols
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to identify research needs and priorities
  • Communicate research findings and recommendations to stakeholders
  • Contribute to the development of research reports and publications
Requirements

To be successful in this role, you will need:

  • A university graduate in the humanities, with a focus on space activities, or an equivalent level of knowledge gained through a combination of education, training or experience
  • Knowledge of research protocols, design and planning as involved in developing research projects and reporting against milestones
  • Experience working with a range of computer systems and applications
  • Demonstrated superior interpersonal communication skills to initiate and maintain effective stakeholder relationships whilst exercising discretion and confidentiality
  • Excellent time management skills, with a demonstrated ability to respond to changing priorities, manage multiple tasks and meet competing deadlines by using judgement and initiative
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a high level of attention to detail and the ability to liaise effectively with a range of stakeholders
  • Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively and productively within a team, but also to take initiative and work independently while managing competing demands
  • An understanding of and commitment to UNSW's aims, objectives and values in action, together with relevant policies and guidelines
  • A demonstrated commitment to diversity, to respectful relationships within and outside a team, and to the health and safety of all those with whom you work
Working Arrangements

This is a casual position, with a minimum of 250 hours spread unevenly across approximately 18 months.
