About this position

Monash University is offering a PhD scholarship within Wiser Healthcare and a new NHMRC-funded Centre of Research Excellence focused on strengthening health-system sustainability and resilience. The successful candidate will join the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine and contribute to a large national, multidisciplinary collaboration addressing major challenges in healthcare: the overuse of care that provides little or no patient benefit and the underuse of effective care.

The PhD research topic will be developed with the successful candidate, taking account of their interests, skills and experience while aligning with the Centre of Research Excellence priorities. Potential areas include healthcare overuse and underuse, de-implementation and implementation science, health-system sustainability, environmentally sustainable healthcare, and the development and evaluation of interventions that improve healthcare delivery.

The candidate will be supervised by Professors Denise O’Connor and Rachelle Buchbinder. They will work alongside internationally recognised researchers and engage with consumers, clinicians, health services, professional organisations and government agencies. The collaboration places strong emphasis on co-production, translation into health policy and practice, and real-world impact.

PhD students will be integrated into relevant methods groups and multidisciplinary research teams through a dedicated research capacity-building program. The research environment offers mentoring, professional development, collaboration, dissemination opportunities and participation in the wider Wiser Healthcare network, with research designed to improve health while making wiser use of finite healthcare resources and reducing harms to patients, practitioners, the public and the planet.

This opportunity supports doctoral research in public health, health services research, implementation science, health economics, epidemiology, biostatistics and sustainable healthcare.
