<div dir="ltr"><p>The Academy is an independent not for profit organisation made up of
around 500 leading Australian researchers. It recognises outstanding
contributions to science and research, advises government, promotes
science education and public understanding of science, informs
evidence-based science policy, and fosters international scientific
relations.</p>
<p>The Project Officer will work with the Academy’s Science Policy and
Projects section to coordinate the activities of Science in Australia
Gender Equity (SAGE), supporting the management of an Australian pilot
of the Athena SWAN Charter on gender equity in science.</p>
<p>SAGE-Pilot aims to improve gender equity in Australian science
research organisations by encouraging them to engage in an
incentive-based performance evaluation and quality improvement process.
The Pilot is based on the successful Athena SWAN Charter established in
2005 in the UK and run by the independent charity the Equality Challenge
Unit (ECU). The SAGE Forum workshop hosted by the Australian Academy of
Science in November 2014 established broad support for the initiative
within the Australian science sector. The Academy undertook to run an
Australian pilot of the Athena SWAN program in partnership with the
Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering and with
assistance from the ECU. The Academy will also support the preparatory
work required to establish SAGE as an independent body within the next
few years.</p>
