A PhD scholarship is available at Charles Sturt University’s Gulbali Institute with Professor Dale Nimmo’s research group to explore options for using fire to promote biodiversity in south‐eastern Australia. The project offers a $35k stipend, payable fortnightly, and is open to domestic students.

This project represents a strategic collaboration between the Gulbali Institute, government agencies, and First Nations groups. Together, we aim to develop ecologically sound fire regimes, bridge cultural and Western fire management practices, and critically evaluate the impacts of fire intervals on biodiversity. Joining this project places you at the heart of efforts to protect biodiversity and guide sustainable fire management.

The integrated nature of the program offers exceptional support, access to a diverse research network, and opportunities for career development—ensuring your contributions can have an impact well beyond the Gulbali Institute.

If you are interested in being part of this project, please email Professor Dale Nimmo at
