About this position

Exciting fully funded PhD opportunity at Deakin University in Warrnambool, Australia, bringing together coastal hazards, sea-level rise, coastal inundation, spatial science, GIS, synthetic population modelling, and population health.

The project will investigate how a changing climate may affect Australian populations, with a particular focus on potential impacts on health and access to essential services. It combines coastal modelling and environmental impacts with synthetic population approaches and health research to better understand not only where climate impacts may occur, but who may be affected and how.

Supervision is by Prof Daniel Ierodiaconou (Deakin Centre for Marine Science) and Prof Vincent Versace (Deakin Rural Health).

The post is aimed at a domestic PhD candidate interested in interdisciplinary research across environmental and health sciences. Applicants should review Deakin's research degree entry requirements and the additional entry requirements linked in the post.

How to apply: Email your CV and cover letter to [email protected] before 8 September 2026. Use the linked Deakin entry requirements page for further eligibility details.
