PhD Positions

The University of Tasmania is seeking candidates for two PhD positions focused on protected areas and community-led conservation in Cambodia. These research projects are part of the Protected Areas and Development (PAD) Program III, which ICEM is implementing in collaboration with IUCN, the University of Tasmania, and Landcare Australia, with funding from the Australian Government through the Mekong-Australia Partnership.

Assessing the role of Cambodia’s seasonal wetlands for conservation and development – This research will investigate the ecological and socio-cultural significance of Cambodia’s seasonal wetlands—small, rain-fed seasonal pools that are vital yet often overlooked. The project will explore where these wetlands occur, how long they persist, and their importance for biodiversity conservation, climate resilience, and local community livelihoods. Research will combine spatial, ecological, and socio-economic approaches. Click here to learn more.

Unlocking the power of community-based management in Cambodia – This project will examine Cambodia’s unique community-protected area network, where communities exercise rights to manage, protect, and benefit from local forests and fisheries. Located in the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot, the research will evaluate whether these areas are delivering meaningful conservation outcomes and socio-cultural benefits, using both quantitative and qualitative impact evaluation approaches.

Both positions include opportunities for field research in Cambodia and collaboration with local communities, government partners, and regional institutions.
