About this position
University of Melbourne PhD opportunity for 2027 in urban biodiversity, inequality, ecology, human geography, urban and regional planning, environmental science, GIS/spatial analysis, and urban sustainability.
The project is titled “Accessibility and exposure to biodiversity among underprivileged communities in cities” and is aimed at candidates interested in community-focused environmental research with a strong spatial and urban dimension. The post says the opportunity is real and that the anticipated start date is 1 February 2027.
Funding is described as competitive rather than guaranteed. Applicants are automatically considered for eligible graduate research scholarships, and possible support may include full tuition fee remission, a living allowance of AUD 39,500 per year (2026 rate), relocation support, and Overseas Student Health Cover for eligible international students.
Applicants should note that an expression of interest is not the same as a full PhD application. The post says international applicants must apply directly through the official graduate research application portal. At minimum, academic transcripts and a CV are required, and many courses also require a research proposal, supervisor support, and referee details.
