The newly established Australian Centre for Gender Equality and Inclusion at Work at the University of Sydney is recruiting a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow to join and to help lead our growing team. The Centre builds on a significant body of research at the University which has investigated the nature of gender inequality at work, its causes, and potential pathways to better practice and outcomes.

As a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow, you will play a critical role at this exciting time as the Centre establishes and grows.
Projects you undertake as part of the Centre’s research program will contribute to driving positive change in workplaces and labour markets. The Centre aims to generate new data-informed knowledge able to inform and improve gender equality at work. The Centre’s research is organized around four key themes:

My thanks to Forsyth, Pal, and Pardesi, for taking the time to read Making Global Society (MGS), and write thoughtful responses to it. It is always interesting to be shown frankly how others filter what you have done through their own concerns and expertise. The responses cover a range of positions. Forsyth seems to like a few bits, but not the whole. Pardesi likes the whole, but not some aspects. Pal is torn between liking and disliking the aggregative, big picture, approach.
