Phd Scholarship for Designing Health Futures

Caulfield, Australia Monash University Full time

**The Opportunity**

Immunoglobulin therapy is used in many different conditions with the CRE concentrating on immunoglobulin use; to prevent and treat infection in patients with immune deficiencies (including blood cancers), and for immunomodulation in immune and inflammatory disorders (including Kawasaki disease and myasthenia gravis).

Immunoglobulin products are precious national resources manufactured from blood plasma, donated and paid for by the community. The product cost alone is greater than $800 million per year. Improved systems and processes are required to deliver these therapies to patients, through monitoring of outcomes, adverse effects, and understanding of patient preferences and experiences for how their care is delivered. The OPTIMAL CRE will address national priorities to inform policy and practice, providing new evidence to enable immunoglobulin being used where it is the most valuable and reducing costs to the community.

**The Emerging Technologies Research Lab**, directed by Professor Sarah Pink, is an interdisciplinary and international research and knowledge community. We investigate the futures, present and past of our social, experiential and political worlds. Our world-class academic and engaged scholarship innovates and delivers new techniques and knowledge carefully designed to deliver new, inclusive and effective understandings and impact in response to the urgent need to better plan for futures with and for people and other species, emerging technologies and climate. The Lab’s internationally leading researchers bring together academic scholarship with engagement with external stakeholders, and advocate for the design of better, responsible and ethical futures. Our work also advances new ethnographic and futures methodologies drawing from design, anthropology, sociology and science and technology studies. The Emerging Technologies Research Lab is across the Faculties of Information Technology and of Art, Design and Architecture (MADA) at Monash University, and was established in 2018.

**The Transfusion Research Unit (TRU)**, directed by Professor Erica Wood has expertise in transfusion medicine, haematology, epidemiology and registry science, and leads national and international clinical registries, clinical trials, health economics analysis and systematic reviews across a range of areas. TRU was established in 2008 and their internationally recognised research and educational activities include: clinical quality registries, clinical trials and cohort studies, health economics analyses, systematic review and other projects, biobanking for correlative studies, educational programs and training, including postgraduate degree studies. TRU works closely with clinical leaders and organisations to collect, analyse and report data about conditions requiring major and/or complex transfusion support, and in a range of blood disorders, including haematological malignancies and bone marrow failure syndromes.

**To Apply**

This position has a two-stage selection process:
The proposal should outline your interest in contributing through practice-based design research to the development of safer, more equitable and sustainable health futures and outline theoretical, methodological and practical approaches you are interested in pursuing in a PhD. You may also reflect your interests in engaging with new technologies and innovative approaches to the delivery of health and care outcomes.

This opportunity is available for domestic applicants only (Citizen/PR) and the duration of the scholarship is maximum 3 years 6 months.
