PhD position summary/title: PhD Scholarship in History
This PhD scholarship is funded as an important part of an ARC funded project, “Asterix and the Making of Modern France: The Creation of a National Myth”, conducted by Professor Julie Kalman. This project will undertake a comparative study of the extraordinary popularity of the Asterix comic book series across two case studies, in Germany and the UK, from the 1960s onwards. Drawing on newspaper articles, fan mail, and contemporary scholarly writing, the project will mirror the central questions of the ARC-funded project, regarding the series’ attractions for readers, and the meanings given to the series. This will open up a sociocultural history of the post-war period in these two countries. The project will also contrast and compare each case: what resonated with readers in each country in their translated versions, and what can this tell us, both about their own post-war stories, and the books themselves? How were puns translated in order to resonate? How did translations transpose meanings into different national contexts? This is of particular interest for Germany and the UK, as both were parodied in the series, and the series enjoyed enormous success in both countries.
Undertaking this PhD as part of a larger project has several advantages. First, the successful candidate will be integrated into an already successful research agenda that has been funded by the Australian Research Council. Second, the candidate will benefit from expert supervision from research leaders in history, and from entering a PhD with a pre-existing structure. Finally, the candidate will benefit from being part of outcomes from the research, which may include co-authored publications (where the candidate’s contributions will be recognised through co-authorship), funded symposia, school-engagement exercises, and future grant applications.
Deadline : 29 July 2025,

PhD position summary/title: PhD Scholarship for a Design-Led Research Program on the Future of CT Imaging in Distributed Care
Monash University’s Design Health Collab is offering a fully funded PhD opportunity for a candidate to undertake applied research in intelligent task guidance technologies that support CT scanning by generalist clinicians working in distributed healthcare settings.
Design Health Collab is a cross-disciplinary design research lab dedicated to the advancement of healthcare technologies, systems, and services through applied design practice. With a portfolio spanning mobile imaging, wearable technologies, and distributed models of care, DHC leads collaborative research across healthcare, government, and industry.
In this context, intelligent task guidance refers to the design of technologies and systems that assist non-specialist healthcare providers, such as a primary care physician, to safely and effectively perform clinical procedures that fall within an expanded scope of capability. In this case, the focus is on diagnostic imaging. The aim is to extend the reach of diagnostic and treatment services in environments where specialist support is unavailable, without compromising safety, accuracy, or quality of care.
The PhD is funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) as part of its PARADIGM program, a multi-institutional initiative to develop deployable, hospital-grade care systems for underserved and remote communities. The candidate will be embedded within this program, working in parallel with a multidisciplinary team designing a ruggedised mobile CT scanner in collaboration with Micro-X Inc., while engaging closely with clinical stakeholders and system engineers.
This research does not centre on the hardware design but on the technologies and systems that support its use, including AI, embedded interfaces, and mixed-reality tools. The emphasis is on designing advanced interaction models and procedural guidance systems that enable safe, effective, and intuitive use of imaging equipment by non-specialists.

PhD position summary/title: PhD scholarship opportunity: Bias in generative AI-driven decision systems
This project addresses a pressing public policy and social issue: the propagation of bias in generative AI systems and its impact on human decision-making, trust, and regulatory design. As generative AI is increasingly deployed in high-stakes decision-making settings – such as financial markets, healthcare, and legal practice – its capacity to produce biased, yet seemingly neutral, outputs poses a significant risk to fairness, accountability, and public trust.
A core focus of the project is understanding how AI-generated explanations influence trust formation, cognitive effort, and user behaviour, including the risk of over-reliance or inappropriate scepticism when explanations are misleading or hallucinated. The candidate will contribute to the development of empirically validated methods for identifying and mitigating such effects.
The research will involve experimental studies, neurophysiological methods (e.g., eye-tracking, pupillometry), cognitive modelling, and regulatory analysis to assess how algorithmic explanations shape human judgement and how existing legal and ethical frameworks align with the evolution of generative AI.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Program – Understanding core competencies and mechanisms in the development and prevention of problem behaviour and poor mental health in the adolescent and early adult years
The prevalence of problem behaviours (drug, alcohol and antisocial behaviour) and mental health disorders rapidly increases during adolescence before peaking in early adulthood. With approximately 25% of the world’s population comprising adolescents (1.9 billion persons), and the prevalence of these behaviours currently at pandemic levels, understanding how to prevent these issues from developing in adolescence is critical to international global health.
This project will build on the ideas and concepts from Positive Youth Development (PYD) literature and classical Greek philosophy (Eudaimonia), which argue that civic and social engagement can be used to develop important social and emotional competencies. These competencies help adolescents to negotiate critical risk factors that emerge in the adolescent years to prevent the development of problem behaviours and poor mental health.
This project will use Australian, US (Washington) and other national, international longitudinal studies, and administrative data sets, to examine the mechanisms and processes of key social and emotional core competencies that can be cultivated in schools, communities and homes to prevent problem behaviour and mental ill-health.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Scholarship – Gaining a Holistic Understanding of Eating Disorders: Phenotyping and Genotyping Illness
Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses characterised by severe disturbances in eating behaviours, which are particularly difficult to treat, with poor treatment outcomes and high relapse rates. However, current treatments are moderately effective at best. Given available therapies are designed to target known core psychopathological features of the illness, the moderate efficacy of existing treatments suggests we do not yet have a full understanding of what is core to these illnesses, nor how best to heal from them. This PhD aims to obtain a comprehensive, integrated, multi-level understanding of mechanisms and features involved in the development and maintenance of eating disorders.
This PhD scholarship is supported by funding from the Australian Eating Disorders Research and Translation Centre (AEDRTC) and will fund the candidate to work as part of a multidisciplinary team. The candidate will receive training in, and use a range of psychological, cognitive, and behavioural tools and techniques in both clinical trials and longitudinal studies.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Scholarship – Integrated Care for Co-occurring Mental Illness and Addiction
Mental illness and substance use disorders frequently co-occur, with international studies suggesting that up to 50% of individuals experiencing mental illness also face challenges with substance use. Despite this high prevalence, integrated care delivery remains a significant challenge within mental health services. The impact of substance use on mental health outcomes, including increased suicide risk, frequent hospital readmissions, and poorer recovery trajectories, is often underrecognised and inadequately captured in service and system-level data.
This PhD project will examine the integration of care for co-occurring mental illness and addiction within Victorian mental health services. The research will focus on:
- Quality and safety factors in integrated care delivery;
- Pathways of care and service navigation;
- System-level factors impacting treatment accessibility and effectiveness;
- Implementation strategies for improved integrated care.

PhD position summary/title: PhD Scholarship – Modelling the social and political drivers of net zero transitions
Reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions requires the rapid adoption of new technologies and practices. Policy support is critical to accelerate their adoption but has faced setbacks and delays in Australia due to political resistance and low social acceptance. A key problem is that the models used for policy evaluation fail to consider important social and political hurdles or how to overcome them.
This PhD project will contribute to addressing this crucial gap by supporting the development of a system dynamics model that incorporates a range of net zero technologies and lifestyle solutions along with social and political drivers and barriers to adoption. By doing so, it will guide and enable policymakers to design better strategies to overcome barriers, build momentum for change, and accelerate adoption of net zero solutions.
