*Our Organisation*

RMIT is a global university of technology, design and enterprise.  Our 
mission is to help shape the world through research, innovation, 
teaching and engagement, and to create transformative experiences for 
our students, getting them ready for life and work.

The School of Media and Communication aims to produce graduates who will 
respond creatively to the challenges of a rapidly changing 
international, media-driven environment. Media and Communication has 
strong links with industry, and responds to ongoing change brought about 
by technology and convergence. The School is positioned as a major 
contributor and leader of the debate within media driven industries.

*The Role and Responsibilities*

An outstanding opportunity exists at RMIT to build your career, working 
with leading cultural and social researchers, and become a key member of 
the research team for the Future Fellowship project ‘Early Start Arts to 
Counter Radicalisation’. Led by Chief Investigator Professor Anna 
Hickey-Moody, the project builds on existing research strengths at RMIT 
in socially engaged arts practice, cultural studies, and sensory, 
digital and visual methodologies. The project aims to:

1) Develop the first Australian and British series of early start arts 
programs for counter radicalisation.

2 Catalogue and understand if and how non-verbal, aesthetic and 
culturally coded forms of information change how interfaith children 
relate to each other.

3) Create and publicly display art works that will develop new and 
positive ‘faces’ (Noble 2012: 220) of Muslim children in Australian and 
English popular culture.

4) Map the distribution and impact of the public artwork.

The project is a community and early childhood approach to building 
interfaith community with a view to strengthening social cohesion.  To 
be considered for this position  applicants will need experience in one 
or more of the methods employed: socially engaged arts practice with 
children aged 3-10, adult focus groups, large scale postal surveys and 
street surveys, public art, big data mapping. Experience with NViVO is 
highly desirable. The Fellow will also assist in sourcing additional 
specialist methodological expertise as needed.  Across the life of the 
project, the Fellow will undertake empirical fieldwork and site 
maintenance in Melbourne, building and maintaining strong relationships 
with the institutions and communities involved in the project.

The Fellow will also maintain data sets, assist with project management 
and collaborate on publications arising from the project. Within a year 
of appointment, the Fellow will be invited to lead some project outputs.
