The Opportunity
We are seeking a Research Fellow to contribute to the Future Lives project, focusing on the workforce in the Indigenous family violence sector. This project aims to improve working conditions and skills to better support victim-survivors in Indigenous communities. You will co-design a qualitative framework from a workforce audit across Australia, helping shape training and support that respects the complex, culturally sensitive environments of this sector.
In this role, you’ll lead fieldwork, data collection, and publications for both partner organisations and scholarly journals. You'll work closely with an interdisciplinary team and CEVAW partners, driving research that makes a real impact.
As the successful candidate, you will possess a strong research record in areas like gender-based violence, Indigenous studies, health, law, or sociology, along with experience working with Indigenous communities. You’ll be skilled in Indigenous-centred and interdisciplinary research methods and able to work both independently and within a team to meet project deadlines.
Your ability to collaborate effectively with Indigenous researchers, navigate intercultural contexts, and communicate clearly will be essential. Experience with postgraduate supervision and securing external funding is desirable but not required.
About Us
The Australia Research Council Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence against Women (CEVAW) is the world’s first Centre to tackle the full range of forms of violence against women (VAW) in Australia and the Indo-Pacific region. CEVAW aims to transform our understanding of the problem of VAW by examining the socio-structural drivers that cause and compound it, and pioneering new, evidence-based approaches to inform trajectory-altering practice and policy. CEVAW will generate fundamental knowledge on the causes and contexts in which violence occurs and the most effective and efficient responses. This interdisciplinary research will be data-driven, Indigenous-centred and co-designed with partners. CEVAW brings together over 40 world-leading experts to develop scalable approaches to eliminate VAW across the legal, security, economic, health, and political systems of Australia and the region. Headquartered at Monash University, CEVAW comprises 13 chief investigators at six Australian institutions and 45 partner organisations and over 100 HDR students and postdoctoral fellows. By building strategic and strong partnerships with Australian and international research institutions and partner organisations, CEVAW will translate research into innovative tools and strengthened capacity to drive the elimination of violence against women. With almost $50M investment from the ARC and contributing organisations, CEVAW is poised to make a significant, global impact.
At CEVAW, we are committed to fostering an inclusive, safe and supportive environment free from discrimination and marginalisation that upholds the principles of respect, equity, and inclusion. We are committed to research that is anti-colonial and a policy of zero tolerance of racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny and all forms of bullying and harassment. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are strongly encouraged to apply for all positions.
