The University of Sydney is offering a postgraduate research scholarship to investigate gender equality in the Australian construction sectors with Dr Natalie Galea. Applications close 30 April.
This project aims to investigate policy failure in gender equality initiatives and, specifically, how institutional and individual resistance to gender equality is applied and adapted over time and across different contexts in construction, Australia’s most male-dominated sector. Researchers expect to generate new knowledge for policy authors in government and business, helping them deliver robust policy outcomes to shift gender equality in male-dominated sectors. It is anticipated that this project will provide significant social and economic benefits to Australia, enabling greater attraction and retention of women to construction jobs, and reducing the sector’s critical skills shortage.
To be eligible for the scholarship, you must be enrolled in or applying for admission to study full-time in a PhD in the University of Sydney Business School and conduct research related to the DECRA project (Resistance to gender equality in the Australian construction sector), contributing to your thesis creation under the supervision of Dr. Natalie Galea.
Applications close on 30 April 2025. Learn more and apply through the University of Sydney website.
