Governance Concentration of Research Excellence (CORE) Macquarie Law School, Macquarie University, Sydney
Closing date: 14 August 2009
Colonisation and Migration in the Pacific
The Legal Governance Concentration of Research Excellence (CORE) in Macquarie Law School, Macquarie University, is offering a full time PhD Scholarship investigating the role of legal and constitutional arrangements in shaping migration in the Pacific region. The successful applicant will join an innovative team of researchers at Macquarie Law School who are undertaking inter-disciplinary research on contemporary issues of legal governance.
Migration is a phenomenon of great importance to the Pacific region: proportionate to the size of their home populations, no other region of the world has experienced larger outflows of people. This project will examine the links between Pacific migration and colonisation, which has left a complex legacy of legal and political associations in the Pacific. As the process of decolonisation has unfolded, colonial powers (such as Australia, France, New Zealand, UK and US) have made different arrangements for the governance of Pacific territories. This project will examine the impact of these legal and constitutional arrangements on migration within the Pacific, and between Pacific Island Countries and the Pacific Rim, during critical periods of colonisation and
decolonisation.
For further information and discussion regarding the PhD project, candidates are encouraged to contact the supervisor Professor Brian Opeskin (Director of the Legal Governance CORE): telephone: +61 2 9850 7074; email: brian.opeskin@ mq.edu.au.
Applicants should have completed a four-year undergraduate degree in the humanities, social sciences or creative arts with first-class honours (law, Pacific history, migration, colonialism, or a combination of these areas), or demonstrate equivalent research qualifications, such as a Master degree with a substantial research component.
The scholarship pays a living allowance currently $20,427 per annum tax exempt (2009), and the tenure is 3.5 years full time, subject to satisfactory progress. Tuition fees will be funded for the scholarship tenure. Additional support for projects and conference travel will be available from the Faculty.
Application forms, and conditions for MQRES awards, are available from the Higher Degree Research Office, telephone +61(02) 9850 7987, e-mail: hdrschol@vc. mq.edu.au, or downloaded from our website: http://www.research .mq.edu.au/ students/ scholarships/ pages/Law/
