Johnny Warren Football Foundation Scholarship

    Dear Colleague,

     

    *apologies for crossposting*

     

    We have extended the deadline for applications (now 31 March) to a PhD on football/soccer at the University of Sydney, Australia.

    The Johnny Warren Football Foundation has donated $140,000 to create a PhD Scholarship opportunity for a candidate with a passion for 'the beautiful game' and the desire to conduct pivotal research into the key challenges currently facing soccer in Australia. 

     

    Despite football's global sporting dominance, its position in this country is delicate. The governance of football in Australia has been fraught with complex and controversial issues such as the role of grass roots development, effective governance, interactions between the Federation and fan bases, gender equity, Indigenous & other minority participation and football's role in Australia's relationships with other nations.

     

    This PhD will provide the successful nominee with the opportunity to explore Australian football's governance and societal impacts under the guidance of Professor Leanne Cutcher and Dr Mattia Anesa of the Business School. Upon completion they may have influenced policy and will be equipped with a qualification that could propel them into sought after roles within sporting bodies, academic or executive roles within sports management.

     

     

    International/domestic applicants with a strong qualitative research background and an interest in practice theory are particularly encouraged to apply. 

     

    For more info please email me directly.

     

    Greetings from Down Under,

     

    Mattia

    Hi Mattia,

    Would it be possible to also mention that you are looking for someone with a qualitative research background, to bring it closer to SAP? Or perhaps someone with an interest in practice (although I'm not sure you want to go in that direction)...

    Cheers, David

    Hi Mattia,

    Absolutely-if you write up a call for what you are looking for I'll post it on the SAP listserv.

    Cheers,

    Hi David,

     

    Leanne and I have been appointed supervisors for a PhD scholarship on the governance of soccer. You might (not) have heard that we are struggling to find a decent candidate... particularly with a robust qualitative background. We thought we had found someone back in October and then the person never committed.

     

    I noticed you are managing the SAP listserv with Violetta and wondering if I could share the call for EOI there. Given the qual/strategy focus of the project, there might be SAP scholars who know promising students.

     

    Please let me know if that's possible.

     

    Many thanks

     

    Mattia
