HDR Opportunities in Law and Policy
Australian National Centre for Ocean Resources and Security (ANCORS)
ANCORS engages in multi-disciplinary research on national and international oceans governance and law, maritime security and co-operation and ocean resource management, focusing on law and policy related issues. The global nature of the maritime environment, its governance and security means that ANCORS has a global perspective but its areas of concentration are in the western Pacific, Indian Ocean and Southern Ocean region. It is the leading contributor of academic research relating to oceans governance and maritime security knowledge services in Australia.

Research at the Centre for Transnational Crime Prevention examines the nature of organised cross-border criminal activities that affect regional and global security, including human trafficking, money-laundering, drug trafficking, cyber crime, identity fraud and terrorism. The Centre is multidisciplinary and its researchers’ outputs seek to improve global understanding of the causes and dynamics of these threats and to address detection and prevention strategies for governments, law enforcement agencies and commercial organisations.

Legal Intersections Research Centre (LIRC)
LIRC promotes research that explores various dimensions of the theme of 'legal intersectionality'. Researchers associated with LIRC undertake law-related research and scholarship that explores and crosses the boundaries between: law and other disciplines; state and national jurisdictions; adversarial and negotiated modes of dispute resolution; and law 'on the books' and law 'in operation'. Recent areas of study include legal pluralism, law and culture, semiotics of law, law and religion, and sociology of law.
