We’re proudly recognised as number one in the world for reducing inequalities (THE, 2022).

The Centre for Environmental Governance (CEG) at the University of Canberra seeks to appoint a Post-Doctoral Fellow to work in the area of environmental governance research. The position requires the capacity to work within CEG’s core research themes of natural resource manage and water governance and/or climate change, disaster recovery and resilience and wellbeing; and to produce publications of the very highest quality.

The University of Canberra works with government, business and industry locally and internationally, challenging the status quo through the pursuit of better ways to teach, learn and research, serving our communities and our nation to bridge the research-policy gap in environmental governance.

This is a research-intensive position, though a portion of the time will be devoted to teaching.  The appointee will be expected to contribute to the intellectual life of the Centre through cooperating on research projects and co-authoring publications, helping to organise research projects, seminars, and conferences, and to help supervise PhD students.

The University offers excellent conditions and benefits such as flexible, family-friendly policies, on site gym, on site medical services, a supermarket and childcare facilities.
