<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#14171a;letter-spacing:.2pt;background:white">UNSW Sydney is offering a 4 year PhD scholarship for interested applicants to work on platform cooperativism. ‘Enabling Cooperative
Platform Economies: Tools, Rules and Practices’ is a research agenda that recognises that
</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">contemporary economies are increasingly mediated by and through internet-based platforms, leading to heated debate over the positive and negative effects
of such platforms. Platform cooperativism is an emergent response that brings the rules of formal cooperatives to the sharing economy and the tools of digital platforms to cooperatives. PhD research in this area will explore whether and how a cooperative platform
economy can build and support collective economic agency, enacting a vision for a more participatory economy, where digital platforms enable place-based, collaborative and holistic economic development. It investigates how governance, ownership and control
in the platform economy can be reframed to support this.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:18.0pt;line-height:16.5pt"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The ideal candidate will have an outstanding academic record at Masters level
in law, humanities or social sciences (either a Masters degree focusing on research methods, or if a coursework Masters then at least a 2(i) Honours degree at undergraduate level), along with demonstrated interest or experience in platform economies. The candidate
will be able to work in an interdisciplinary setting, engaging with literature across legal and social science disciplines including law, political economy, political ecology, media, human geography or philosophy, and be interested in a mixed methods approach
including interviews, policy, law and data analysis, and in framing policy recommendations. The Scientia Scholar will have experience writing literature reviews and excellent written and verbal communication skills. Previous research experience with research
methods, including data collection and analysis, is desirable.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></p>
