PhD vacancy: Exploring opportunities for ecosystem service economies on the Indigenous estate

July 20, 2023 by Iskra Categories: Collaboration calls, News, Vacancies

Charles Darwin University‘s (CDU) Research Institute for the Environment and Livelihoods (RIEL) is seeking applications for a PhD project, based in Darwin, to assess the value of ecosystem services (ES) from native forests for the Indigenous peoples in East Arnhem Land, NT.

About the Opportunity
The proposed project will aim to assess the value of ES from native forests for the Indigenous peoples in East Arnhem Land, NT. The project will evaluate the benefits of forestry-related economic opportunities including job creation, the opportunity to work and learn on-country, enhanced well-being, etc. Estimating the value of Indigenous provenance timber and non-timber products and other ES will help to establish an emerging Indigenous forestry market sector, in line with the National Indigenous Forestry Strategy (2005).

The PhD candidate will be based at one of CDU’s Darwin campuses. The project will be led by the Ecosystem Services Group within the Research Institute for the Environment and Livelihoods. We will collaborate with the Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade (DITT) – Forestry branch where an Indigenous forestry project in East Arnhem Land is currently underway focused on opportunities for sustainable native forestry. The opportunity will also include a minimum three-month HDR internship with a research end-user to gain experience and develop connections.

The successful applicant must be an Australian Citizen, an Australian Permanent Resident; or a New Zealand Citizen and will receive a Research Training Program (RTP) Scholarship.

How to Apply
To submit an expression of interest please send the following to Assoc Prof Kamaljit K Sangha at [email protected]:

  • CV, cover letter, statement, academic transcripts etc.
  • Any publications
  • Experience in research work

For further enquiries please contact Assoc Prof Kamaljit K Sangha on +61 8 8946 6792 or email [email protected] or visit https://researchers.cdu.edu.au/en/persons/kamaljit-sangha.
