Journal of Industrial Relations (JIR) 2023 Indigenous Editorial Traineeship

4 Apr 2023 12:53 PM | ALERA (Administrator)

The Journal of Industrial Relations (JIR) has initiated an Indigenous Early Career Researcher Editorial Traineeship.

The initiative reflects JIR’s commitment to advancing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and Indigenous scholarship and scholars in the field of industrial relations.

It forms part of the journal’s vision of contributing to high quality academic scholarship, policy debates and professional practice in industrial relations.

The JIR publishes papers on past, present and future issues relating to employment, work organisation and labour regulation, and theoretical understandings of contemporary issues in Australia and internationally. See: https://journals.sagepub.com/aims-scope/JIR.

The field of Industrial Relations is broad, drawing its strength from multidisciplinary analyses of the changing nature of the world of work and employment.

Industrial relations scholarship examines the employment relationship and the actors within that relationship – working people, employers, employment institutions (trade unions & employer organisations), civil society organisations and the state.

Attention focuses on the implications, consequences and relevance of the nature and function of the key institutions and processes that shape the labour-capital relationship more generally.

JIR recognises that Indigenous knowledges are an essential part of research, and that Indigenous ways of being, knowing and doing underpin the respect, reciprocity and responsibility that are the basis of any research conducted by and with Indigenous peoples.

JIR editorial traineeships for Indigenous early career researchers will initially be offered to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander persons. In the future, JIR will extend the initiative to Māori and Pacific Islander persons. Each traineeship will be for a two-year period.

Trainees will be involved in:

• A buddy and mentoring scheme

• Attending and participating in quarterly editorial team meetings with Editors-in-Chief, Deputy Editors and Associate Editors

• Involvement in peer reviewing two journal articles per year with mentoring support

• Independent reviewing with guidance in year two

• Contributing to the JIR Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Indigeneity (EDII) subcommittee

• Contributing to the JIR Social Media Strategy subcommittee.

Traineeships offer participants:

• Support and mentoring from the editorial team

• Shadowing of editorial team in the peer review process

• Learning new skills

• Expanding academic networks

• Formal journal recognition

• Training and development to enhance career development

• Exposure to the latest research in the field

• Gaining foundational knowledge relating to research integrity / ethical norms.
