Sexual & reproductive rights (SRHR) Health

Do you agree that menstruation is about so much more than blood? Are you interested in linking menstruation to broader questions of gender justice and social mobilization? Then this PhD position might be the right fit for you. – The position is part of the PERIODS project on Human Rights in the Menstrual Movement funded by the European Research Council and led by Dr. Inga Winkler. You will play a key role in the project by taking the lead on the case study in South Africa focused on the intersections of informality, gender and menstruation in the urban context. The project examines how menstruators’ lives are shaped by socio-cultural norms and processes of compounded stigmatization and marginalization. On that basis, the project seeks to determine how lived experiences inform movement building, what demands people articulate, what strategies and approaches groups rely on, and how struggles at the local, national, transnational, and global level influence each other. The PhD project will explore the intersections between informality, patriarchy and menstruation.

Your duties and responsibilities include:
 Develop the research design for the PhD project at the intersection of menstruation, gender and informality and obtain ethical clearance in line with the goals of the funding award  Collect data through interviews and focus groups and other empirical methods and conduct data analysis and management
 Collaborate with team members on other components of the project (in particular on other forms of marginalization and stigmatization)
 Write and publish in peer-reviewed venues
 Support other activities as relevant during each stage of the project and participate in the activities of the Law group at Wageningen University and the Chair in Urban Law and Sustainability Governance at Stellenbosch University.

To meet the requirements of the role, you will bring:
 Advanced skills in research, analysis, critical thinking, and writing
 Demonstrated ability to work independently and as part of a team in a dynamic, interdisciplinary and intercultural research environment
 Outstanding communication skills that enable you to work in an intercultural setting across timezones and geographies
 Excellent organizational and management skills that enable you to balance different tasks and priorities
 Familiarity with the geographic and socio-cultural context of this South African case study
You must also have:
 A successfully completed MSc, MA, LLM or equivalent degree in law, sociology, anthropology, gender studies, socio-legal studies, public health, or other relevant discipline
 Interest in research on human rights, gender, and/or social movements
 Training in qualitative empirical research methods and/or socio-legal studies, ideally working with groups facing marginalization
 Familiarity with developments in the field of human rights and critiques of human rights
 In addition to English, fluency in other South African language(s) such as isiXhosa and Afrikaans will be considered a strong asset. Please indicate your language skills

Gender-based violence (GBV)
About this scholarship

A unique funded opportunity to be part of a network of leading displacement scholars and to contribute to building the global evidence-base for preventing and responding to violence against women and girls.

A scholarship is available at ANU for an outstanding domestic or international student to undertake a PhD on the topic of violence against women and displacement in the Pacific. The successful candidate will be enrolled full-time in a program of study for the degree of PhD in the ANU Department of International Relations, Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, College of Asia and the Pacific. The student will also become part of a cohort of PhD scholars within the Australian Research Council’s Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence Against Women (CEVAW)

This Centre aims to transform our understanding of the problem by examining the structural drivers that cause and compound violence against women, and pioneering new, evidence-based approaches to radically improve policy and practice across Australia and the Indo-Pacific. The CEVAW network comprises 13 Chief Investigators from six Australian universities, and at least 45 Australian and international partner organisations. The Centre mobilises Indigenous and survivor-centred approaches, interdisciplinary collaborations, and Indo-Pacific partnerships to deliver scalable approaches to eliminate violence against women across the legal, security, economic, health, and political systems of Australia and the region.

Working collaboratively with diverse stakeholders across the Pacific regions, Asia and in Australia, this funded PhD position is supported through the Australian Research Council (ARC) CEVAW and the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, as part of the research stream on violence in the context of Migration and Trafficking – led by Chief Investigator Professor Bina D'Costa.

The successful applicant will develop and carry out a project that aligns with the broader purpose of CEVAW, to develop the academic evidence base on violence against women in displacement and emergency contexts in the Pacific. This project may include research on prevention of conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence or violence against women in the context of natural and climate-induced disasters, or other emergencies in the Pacific.

Eligibility

The Award will be available in 2025 or 2026 to a prospective, domestic or international student who:

has expertise or a demonstrated interest in the elimination of violence against women in migration and trafficking situations

has completed an Australian University Masters degree with honours (at the level honours 2A or above), or equivalent prior studies in Australia or elsewhere (for example a Bachelor degree with First Class Honours or equivalent; and Master’s degree with a significant research thesis component), and/or has relevant experience that includes a significant research component in the field of women’s public health and/or migration and trafficking.

Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DEI)
PhD Project Description
The PhD project explores the critical societal and organizational relevance of diversity, investigating the alignment between corporate discourse, actual workplace practices, and the measurable success of diverse teams.

Diversity is widely recognized as a driver of innovation, better decision-making, and social equity across corporate, public, and academic sectors. This PhD project adopts a comprehensive, multi-perspective approach to examining diversity, integrating insights from corporate communication, workforce composition, and team-level performance outcomes. Under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Michael Erkens, the PhD candidate will contribute to providing a holistic understanding of how diversity is communicated, enacted, and manifested across different organizational contexts. This PhD research not only addresses crucial gaps in diversity literature but also generates actionable insights for corporate leaders, investors, policymakers, and academic institutions striving to move beyond symbolic gestures towards substantial and effective diversity practices.
The PhD project consists of three empirical studies. It offers an opportunity to contribute to academic and policy discussions on diversity regulation and the effectiveness of current diversity policies. The primary objective is to publish scientific articles in highly ranked, peer-reviewed journals in the field. These publications will ultimately form the foundation of the PhD dissertation, which is written in English. The teaching commitment will not exceed 20% of the appointment.

The PhD project runs for four years. Students are required to complete PhD courses throughout their PhD studies. This coursework consists of training in accounting, finance, and econometrics, tailored to the background of the PhD student.

During these four years, the student will conduct three empirical studies, each developed to a level suitable for submission to top-tier journals in the field. By the end of the program, the goal is for the PhD student to be well-trained and for their research to be sufficiently developed to ensure strong prospects in the (international) academic job market.

Who are we?
Nyenrode Business University in Breukelen, the Netherlands, was founded in 1946 for and by business. We unite rigorous academic research with real-world relevance and a strong emphasis on personal development. True to our mission, serving society by shaping responsible leaders, we foster the core values of leadership, entrepreneurship, and stewardship in everything we do. Our vibrant and internationally oriented campus offers degree and executive programs in business, management, accountancy, and controlling, powered by a diverse faculty and dynamic research community.

We are looking for
We are looking for a curious, self-motivated researcher who enjoys empirical work. Ideal candidates will have:

A Master’s degree in accounting, business administration, economics, or finance is preferred.

Excellent study results for both the bachelor’s and master’s degrees.

Interest in and strong motivation for scientific research are explained in a cover letter.

Experience with data analysis and programming (e.g., Python, R, Stata).

Strong analytical skills with a solid understanding of quantitative research methods.

A collaborative mindset, with the ability to contribute effectively to a multidisciplinary research team.

Building on these findings, UN Women and SAO have since worked together on a series of initiatives, ranging from capacity development for SAO staff on gender equality to embedding gender considerations into wider audit practices. This national-level work is closely connected to global efforts. At the international level, UN Women Headquarters collaborates with the INTOSAI Development Initiative (IDI) to promote gender-responsive auditing worldwide.

Description du projet ou contexte

While women-led ventures make up between 37% and 46% of businesses across sectors in Ghana, women entrepreneurs in the cultural and creative industries continue to face distinct gender-related challenges. These include limited access to formal financing, exclusion from intellectual property and distribution value chains, and underrepresentation in emerging digital and cross-border trade opportunities. In many cases, regulatory frameworks and creative industry ecosystems are not designed with gender inclusion in mind, further deepening structural inequalities.

To address these challenges, the Ghana Green & Digital PSD programme — co-funded by the EU, the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and implemented by RVO, UNCDF, and Expertise France — aims to support the emergence of a more inclusive, greener, and digitalised private sector. One of its specific interventions involves identifying and supporting a select number of entrepreneurs from two key sectors: CCI and Health/Pharma in their digitalization as well as in their quest to make their venture greener and more sustainable.

This inception study is therefore a critical first step in delivering this support. It will map and analyse both formal and informal entrepreneurial (MSMEs, start-ups) ecosystem in Ghana, assess gaps and opportunities for sectoral specialisation, and recommend concrete pathways for targeted women entrepreneurs under the project. The findings will directly inform the operationalisation of project activities related to Output 3 of the programme’s logframe: “Build capacity of entrepreneurs to apply digital solutions that would enhance business growth of MSMEs.” And more especially, dive into a more suitable capacity building service offering targeted to women & minority groups entrepreneurs, for their own digital and sustainable transformation.

Required Experience:

· Demonstrated expertise in green and digital entrepreneurship

· Proven track record in working with or assessing ESOs (e.g. incubators, accelerators, hubs)

· Sectoral experience in Creative and Cultural Industries is strongly preferred

· Experience conducting donor-funded diagnostics, capacity assessments, or feasibility studies
