Job title: Research Fellow, Workplace Equity & Respect (Level BRF)
Company: The University of South Australia
Job description : You will be responsible for undertaking research related activities associated with the project titled "Cultivating Systemic Safety to Prevent Workplace Sexual Harassment" funded via an ARC Linkage Project Agreement.
This project sits within the Centre for Workplace Excellence, in partnership with 12 organisations who play an important role in understanding the origins of sexual harassment in the workplace in Australia, and are working to mitigate this problem.
Workplace sexual harassment is a significant issue, costing our economy more than $3.5 billion each year.
It disrupts business operations and slows progress in achieving gender equality at work.
Traditional prevention methods include policies, training, and reporting, which focus on the behaviour itself without addressing its root causes.
This misdirection of effort is a major reason why the problem persists.
The project will learn more about the origins of sexual harassment in the organisational system – looking deeper into aspects like organisational culture, social dynamics, job and task characteristics, technology, and the physical work environment – and develop new evidence-based prevention strategies.
You will proactively support and contribute to high quality research through advanced qualitative analysis, competitive research grant activities, as well as actively participate in research concentrations and other relevant collaborative forums, to deliver high quality research outcomes.
