First Nations Research Fellowships: Time Layered Cultural Map of Australia
Ariel map of dry country
The Time Layered Cultural Map of Australia (TLCMap) is an open-access platform for mapping cultural and historical data. As TLCMap aims to map the meaning and cultural value of locations on the Australian continent, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander involvement and collaboration is essential. One of the avenues for this partnership is a Fellowship scheme for Indigenous PhD students to provide collaborative opportunities for the development team to learn from Indigenous researchers, and for the Indigenous Fellows to steer development and use TLCMap systems for projects of their own choosing.
Two $10,000 Fellowships will be offered.
Fellows will be confirmed PhD candidates at any Australian University and identify as Aboriginal or as Torres Strait Islanders.
The Fellowships will run from 1 October 2023 to 31 March 2024.
Please email Hugh Craig at hugh.craig@newcastle.edu.au to discuss eligibility, possibilities for research using the TLCMap platform, and potential synergies between TLCMap and the applicant’s own research.
