This project is an exciting opportunity to work with Indigenous land managers and develop incentivising tools that help protect biodiversity.  \nScholarship and financial support:  \n• CDU RTP stipend ($35,489 per annum from 2026, indexed annually and tax exempt), for up to 3 years from commencement, open to Australian citizens/residents or New Zealand citizens (domestic students) .  \n• Fee waiver for three years.  \nAbout the project:  \nThis project will build upon current ARC Discovery research, where nature-based economic opportunities were explored. In recent years, there has been a greater emphasis by the Australian Government on the Nature Repair market. During the project, we developed the first-of-its-kind, ground-up nature-based economies framework, in collaboration with Indigenous peoples/Traditional Owners from across the north. This framework offers a list of ecological and socio-cultural indicators that can be used to assess ecosystems (Country in Indigenous ways of thinking) and people’s connections with their Country. However, to progress and achieve practical outcomes and impact from this research, we need to develop the metrics and tools for the identified indicators, which can then help landowners/managers build their own toolkit to participate in the Nature Repair Market.  \nThe research will enable Indigenous land managers and owners to talk directly with investors who want to invest in looking after the Country. Currently, there is no such metric or toolkit that suits Indigenous land managers/owners. This research will empower Indigenous groups to understand their Country and to participate effectively and actively in a fast-emerging Nature Repair Market.  \nAbout you:  \n• You have a research background (Honours or Masters) in ecological economics, ecosystem services, environmental science or similar, and bring a high level of academic merit consistent with RTP stipend scholarship requirements  \n• Hold an Australian driving license or the capacity to obtain one  \n• Would ideally be based or willing to relocate to Darwin  \n• Can work independently with a high level of initiative  \nBenefits to you:  \n• Receive generous support for project costs  \n• Play an integral role in a highly collaborative research team  \n• Contribute to research with real-world impact  \n• Access to Student Support Services and Wellbeing Support Program  \n• Work with a University committed to changing people’s lives for the better through training, education, and research  \nSelection criteria:  \n• First Class Honours, MSc or equivalent containing a substantial research component in a relevant field such as ecological economics, ecosystem services, environmental science, economics or similar field  \n• Must meet the RTP stipend requirements, including being either an Australian permanent resident or citizen, or a New Zealand citizen, with intention to be a domestic student  \nHow to apply:  \nEmail an expression of interest to Professor Kamaljit Sangha ([Kamaljit.Sangha@cdu.edu.au](Kamaljit.Sangha@cdu.edu.au)), including:  \n• A curriculum vitae, including a list of any peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations and relevant work and/or research experience  \n• A brief statement, not exceeding 500 words, describing your background, research experience and interest in this research project/area  \n• Names and contact details of two academic referees Application closing date: 11:59pm 10th August 2026 Commencement date: Early 2027  \nEnquiries: Professor Kamaljit K Sangha; [Kamalj","cbCaih2iZQj1U1F3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaih2iZQj1U1F3","pdf",454860,"English","# Project overview\n## Scholarship and financial support\n## About the research project\n## About you\n## Benefits to you\n## Selection criteria\n## How to apply\n## Enquiries and key dates\n## Diversity and Inclusion","[{\"question\":\"What is the PhD project trying to deliver?\",\"answer\":\"It will develop indigenous-specific ecosystem services metrics and tools that translate identified ecological and socio-cultural indicators into practical ways for land owners and managers to participate in nature-based economies and the Nature Repair Market.\"},{\"question\":\"What financial support is provided and for how long?\",\"answer\":\"Applicants can receive the CDU RTP stipend (indexed, tax exempt) for up to 3 years from commencement, along with a three-year fee waiver.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is eligible to apply?\",\"answer\":\"The scholarship is open to Australian citizens/residents or New Zealand citizens as domestic students, and applicants must also meet the RTP stipend requirements and relevant academic background in related fields.\"}]","PhD Opportunity - Developing Indigenous-Specific Ecosystem Services Metrics and Tools for Nature-Based Economies in Northern Australia | PDF"]
