The university professor, who Guardian Australia has chosen not to name, was reportedly confronted by an armed group on Sunday demanding payment from the PNG and Australian governments.
It is believed the professor was conducting studies near Mount Bosavi with University of Papua New Guinea graduates and guides.
PNG prime minister James Marape earlier confirmed reports of a kidnapping, saying contact had been made.
Australian prime minister Anthony Albanese told reporters in Perth on Monday that he would seek a briefing on the matter.
