Australian Research Council Discovery Project

EOIs are closing soon for a three-year full-time PhD scholarship at the University of Melbourne on the project “Revolving door lobbyists: harmful industries & public interest policymaking.”

The research programme examines how the revolving door operates across industries, how key policymakers and lobbyists perceive the benefits and risks of revolving-door movement, and what reforms to lobbying regulation could better manage conflicts of interest. The project sits at the intersection of political science, law, political economy, public health, and the social sciences, with a strong focus on commercial determinants of health and corporate political activities.

Applicants with backgrounds in commercial determinants of health, political economy, law, political science, and related social science fields are encouraged to apply. The post is framed as a scholarship rather than a job, and the announcement indicates that the scholarship is for a full-time PhD candidate.

The closing date mentioned in the post is 26 April. The post includes an application link for further details and submission instructions.
