The Murdoch University Indonesia PhD Scholarship

Murdoch University is proud of its deep engagement with Indonesia, and of our extensive Indonesian alumni networks. In recognition of this important relationship, Murdoch University is offering a PhD scholarship to an international scholar of exceptional talent to undertake doctoral research that will contribute to further strengthening the links between Australia and Indonesia and to building peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region.

The PhD project will be hosted by the Indo-Pacific Research Centre (IPRC, formerly the Asia Research Centre) and supported by the disciplines of the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences at Murdoch University.

The PhD project must align with the research priorities of the IPRC. The objective of the IPRC is to address the challenges faced by countries in the region: these challenges can be broadly political, socio-cultural or environmental.

In addition to the scholarship and superior academic supervision, the Scholarship will also offer a bespoke professional training program to support the PhD scholar.
