This position is to work with the South East regional team, led by Associate Professors Andrew Peters (Swinburne University) and Rebe Taylor (University of Tasmania) on the history of Lutruwita (Tasmania) from the Palawa (Tasmanian Aboriginal) perspective.

- Have, or be working towards, a higher education research qualification or have equivalent qualifications such as Indigenous Knowledges and professional research or consultation experience.
