Role Title: Research and Communications Intern 1, Migration Diversity and Care
Organisation: Social Ageing (SAGE) Futures Lab
Internship Period: Semester 1 (February - May)
Location: Joondalup
In this internship you will be working on a suite of research and communications initiatives located in the Research Program in Migration Diversity and Care and led by the ECU Social Ageing (SAGE) Futures Lab and Harmony Hub, an emerging Music and Migrant Health Research Hub. The Research Program in Migration, Diversity and Care in the School of Arts and Humanities brings together leading inter-disciplinary researchers of migration, settlement, social justice, inclusivity, and transnationalism with a focus on applied social care to foster a world-leading and distinctive research agenda.
You will work closely with the team to develop research, marketing, communications and social media presence. You may also perform duties to support the day-today running of the research team (ie: research administration) and conduct some qualitative research tasks (ie: interview transcripts and data cleaning). Your role may also involve supporting SAGE Lab events.
The Social Ageing (SAGE) Futures Lab leads innovation in social and cultural care through collaborative research, consultancies, evaluation, knowledge and good practice exchange to develop effective evidence-based responses to four main critical issues: Social and Cultural Care; Diverse and Migrant Communities; Music and Arts Engagement; and Digital Ageing and Inclusion.
The SAGE Lab contributes social science perspectives and methodologies to the creative and caring professions with a focus on cultural and linguistic diversity and the role of social support networks (including formal/informal, local, distant, and virtual) to wellbeing across the life-course. Through research-led collaboration, evaluation and consultancies, the Lab facilitates partnerships with community, industry and government stakeholders to build capacity in research and training.
