Opportunities are open at the Food & Mood Centre at Deakin University for researchers interested in nutritional psychiatry, diet and mental health, lifestyle interventions, and related epidemiological research.

The featured project is a funded PhD opportunity for domestic candidates from Australia/New Zealand.

This suggests a strong focus on large-scale population health data, diet-related exposures, and mental health outcomes.

The post is especially relevant for applicants with interests in public health, psychology, and nutrition, and for those looking to work in a leading research group at the intersection of food, mood, and lifestyle. Funding details beyond “funded PhD” are not specified, and no deadline is given in the post.

To apply, candidates should submit the EOI via the provided REDCap survey link. Interested applicants may also contact the poster or share the opportunity with others who may be a fit.
