About the Role

This PhD scholarship supports the strategic priorities of the NSW ACT Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Research Network (DFSVRN), a collaboration of 12 universities and key NSW government agencies. The project is supported by the Office of the NSW Chief Scientist & Engineer through the Doctoral Training Centre in Violence Prevention initiative.

Responsibilities

• Align with government priorities by directly addressing defined government needs and policy agendas, embedding end‐users in problem definition and decision-making.
• Promote multidisciplinary collaboration by leveraging diverse disciplines, such as social work, public health, data science and the broader human services sector.
• Develop an embedded, applied research model by structuring PhDs as “Industry PhDs”, Professional PhDs or end-user scholarships.
• Integrate knowledge translation by making translation — whether it be from evidence to policy and practice; or evidence from practice to policy — as a core requirement for the student.
• Include flexible PhD outcomes by enabling alternative/integrated submission models (e.g., peer-reviewed articles, policy papers, implementation toolkits, professional doctorates etc) alongside traditional theses to maximise practical uptake.
• Support practitioner–researcher partnerships through a model which pairs non-practitioner researchers with frontline practitioners, and frontline practitioner researchers with academic counterparts.
• Integrate lived-experience by encouraging and supporting people with lived (or living) experience to be involved in research – as researchers, advisors, designers, participants and evaluators.

Requirements

• Applicants are required to have completed an Honours or Masters degree, usually including a previous short dissertation (such as an Honours thesis).
• Based in Sydney.
• We seek proactive, multi-disciplinary PhD students from academia, government and/or frontline services who are committed to building safer communities across NSW.
