About us

The School of Arts and Humanities (SAH) at Edith Cowan University exists to advance social justice in the world and to improve the quality of life for all. We seek to achieve more equal and positive social relations; to foster the realisation of individual human potential; and to enable diverse creative expression. Our research is committed to creating new and more positive conditions for human achievement and social change. The seven priority concerns for SAH are care, climate change, decolonisation, digital futures, intersectional inclusion, global transformation, and storytelling.  

Our Climate Justice research community undertakes feminist participatory action research alongside First Nations communities, people with Lived Experience and civil society organisations. This program is embedded in ECU’s Strategic Research Centre for People, Place and Planet (CPPP). The CPPP aims to reconnect people, ecosystems, and place-based knowledges for universal well-being. The CPPP mission is to conduct transdisciplinary research using participatory methodologies in the context of global environmental change. CPPP research and action is co-designed with Indigenous knowledge holders to transform human-environment relations through place-based, just and collaborative processes.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced Post-Doctoral Research Fellow to join our team. This 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. This project is a partnership between Edith Cowan University, WA community service organisations (CSOs), Aboriginal Traditional Owners and people with Lived Experience. Collectively, we are developing an online Climate Justice and Resilience Toolkit for the WA community service sector. 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. As a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow within this project, you will work alongside CSOs to develop, implement, document and analyse strategies for climate justice and disaster resilience within the organisations. You will work closely with the project’s Aboriginal Steering Group, Lived Experience Advisory Group, Stakeholder Committee and academic team.

You will also contribute to the development of other community-based projects for research and action in climate justice.

You will also demonstrate personal attributes that are congruent with the University’s values of Integrity, Respect, Rational Inquiry, Personal Excellence and Courage. 

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
