Melbourne, Victoria, Australia beBeeMentalHealth Full time $65,000 - $75,000
Job Title

A PhD opportunity is available to investigate the underlying factors driving problem behaviours and poor mental health in adolescents and young adults.

About The Project

Problem behaviours such as drug, alcohol, and antisocial behaviour, and mental health disorders escalate rapidly during adolescence and peak in early adulthood. With approximately 25% of the global population comprising adolescents, it is crucial to understand how to prevent these issues from developing in this age group.

This project will focus on Positive Youth Development (PYD) literature and classical Greek philosophy, arguing that civic and social engagement can cultivate important social and emotional competencies.

The selected candidate will examine key social and emotional core competencies cultivated in schools, communities, and homes to prevent problem behaviour and mental ill-health using Australian, US, and international longitudinal studies, and administrative data sets.

Expected outcomes include the development of systemic and targeted interventions to improve local and global health.

Supervisory Team

The project will be supervised by Dr Bosco Rowland, a Senior Research Fellow at Monash University and Statistician at Turning Point. His work focuses on designing and evaluating health behaviour interventions, randomised control trials, and longitudinal studies.
