Company Description

About us

This project is situated within the Griffith Centre for Social and Cultural Research (GCSCR). The GCSCR is dedicated to increasing our understanding of current challenges facing the modern world. Through the application of innovative humanities and social science research, incorporating the knowledge of academics from a broad range of interrelated disciplines, we are at the cutting edge of humanities and social science discourse.

You will be working with Dr Bridget Backhaus, a media studies researcher with extensive expertise in community and alternative media. Her work draws on participatory and practice-research methods to explore intersections of community media and social change.

The GCSCR has a strong tradition of world-class community media research. The candidate will have the opportunity to work alongside leaders in the field and contribute to growing our understanding of the role of community media in contemporary society.

Job Description

We are currently looking for a PhD candidate to support a recently awarded ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award.

The candidate will contribute to exploring the importance of volunteering in local communities and the role of community radio therein. The primary focus of this role is to conduct research that supports community media outlets and other community organisations in identifying, attracting, and retaining volunteers through creative and community-engaged methods.

This project includes opportunities to collaborate with international partners and industry.

Qualifications

The successful candidate will have a background or demonstrated interest in media studies and/or third sector studies. To be successful within this role, you will have experience in qualitative methods including interviewing, facilitating focus group discussions, and analysing qualitative research data. You will have evidence of a passion for community-engaged research, with a strong interest or capacity in creative practice-research, volunteering, and working with communities.
