Stan Grant has reportedly ended his employment with the ABC and taken a role with Melbourne's Monash University, months after stepping down as host of QandA following a swath of racist online attacks.

The respected presenter, journalist and Wiradjuri man left QandA in May with initial indications he would return to host the program before confirming the end of his tenure two months later.

His decision came with criticisms of the ABC's failure to provide him support while enduring racist attacks after his commentary of King Charles' coronation.

Mr Grant spoke of the impact of the Crown on Indigenous people and its continuation in Australia as a Commonwealth nation during the coverage.

In an ABC column at the time of first stepping down from QandA, Mr Grant wrote that no one at the public broadcaster had "uttered one word of public support" during the period of online abuse.

Following his decision not to return to the program in July, ABC director of news Justin Stevens said "we will be delighted to have his contribution across a number of different ABC programs."

That relationship appears to be over, according to Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.

Mr Clennell reported on Tuesday Mr Grant had "confirmed" to him he had resigned as a permanent ABC staff member

He cited Mr Grant as saying "there's no bad blood", he 'loved' the ABC and would collaborate in the future.

"If that happens, it seems it's on a freelance basis. I've been told this afternoon that he has resigned recently as a permanent staffer with the ABC," Mr Clennell said.

It comes after Mr Grant shared his thoughts on the program at the Canberra Writers Festival on Saturday.

He commented on the QandA's panel selection and part played in "lynch mob" activity from viewers.

"You go on Q+A and the first thing you do is you introduce a panel that have more often than not been picked because they have conflict, rather than seeking to find connection," Mr Grant said, via The Australian

"Then you say, 'go on social media', basically form your lynch mob, hit the person you hate and pile on.

"I can't do that anymore and I don't think that is what you want from our media. I think we are failing you and we must find a better way to doing it."

Mr Grant later said he was "part of that ecosystem"; an influence in his decision to leave the show.

"I have to accept our own complicity in this," he said.

"One of the reasons that I walked away from being in the media and walked away from Q+A was not just because of the racism pile-on against my family and the violent threats against us, but because I had to accept that I am part of that ecosystem."

On Tuesday, Monash University announced Mr Grant has been appointed as the inaugural director of their Constructive Institute Asia Pacific.

In a statement, Monash said the institute's "central mission is to change global news culture to foster healthier democracies," based within their School of Media, Film and Journalism.

"Professor Grant will amplify this mission in the Asia Pacific region, leading projects and debates that embrace global solutions, nuance and dialogue to newsroom cultures," it read.

The Guardian reported Mr Grant will also act as a professor of journalism.

"This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for me. It aligns with my values and draws on my 40 years in journalism, as well as my commitment to doing public interest journalism better in a way that serves the public at a time when the stakes couldn't be higher for our country and for the world," he said.
