About this position

PhD Scholarship in Data Science, Ecology, Environmental Science, and Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) at The University of Queensland (St Lucia campus, Brisbane, Australia).

This project is part of the SAAFE CRC partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency Victoria and Northern Arizona University. The PhD focuses on quantifying ecological risks from flood-borne contaminants in nonurban landscapes, using hydrological measurements, contaminant concentrations, microbial profiles, and land-use data from the 2022 Victorian floods.

The successful candidate will work on data integration, statistical analysis, and quantitative modelling to identify contaminants of concern, assess toxicity, and estimate ecological risk for flora and fauna species. The project is especially suitable for applicants who want a primarily data- and modelling-focused PhD rather than a fieldwork- or lab-heavy project.

Funding: Research project scholarship with a living stipend of $45,000 per year, a $21,000 professional development fund, and tuition fees covered.

Eligibility highlights: Applicants must have completed Honours or Masters level research and be able to enrol as a domestic student at UQ. The advert also asks for evidence of meeting UQ English language proficiency requirements (e.g. TOEFL, IELTS).

Supervision: Principal Supervisor Associate Professor Sudhir Yadav, with associate supervisors Dr Minna Saaristo (EPA Victoria), Dr Phoebe Lewis (EPA Victoria), and Professor Catherine Propper (Northern Arizona University).

How to apply: Submit a cover letter, CV, academic transcript/s, and English language evidence through the application process. The advert does not list a separate deadline in the text provided.
