The Opportunity
Do you have a passion for promoting a healthy, safe and sustainable teaching workforce that reflects the diversity of the Australian population? Do you want to make a contribution to knowledge through research?
Monash Education is offering a PhD project as part of the Education Workforce for the Future Laboratory on the topic of attracting and retaining a culturally and ethnically diverse teaching workforce. This is an important topic in the current Australian context when i) teachers from culturally and ethnically diverse backgrounds are under-represented in the teaching workforce and often report feeling marginalised and unsafe; and (ii) there are ongoing concerns about the lack of cultural and ethnic diversity of the Australian teaching profession.
1 x PhD scholarship for full-time research at postgraduate level. The award is available to applicants intending to undertake a PhD with a focus on the cultural and ethnic diversity of the teaching workforce.
