Designing Health Futures PhD Opportunity

Monash University is seeking a highly motivated and talented PhD researcher to join our team in the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture. This exciting opportunity is part of the OPTIMAL NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence (CRE), which brings together patients, leading researchers, health professionals, and health economists to generate new knowledge and research capacity required to design, build, and implement better systems for delivering immunoglobulin therapy.

About the Project

This PhD project will focus on designing health futures, with a specific emphasis on immunoglobulin management in Australia. You will work closely with Associate Professor Leah Heiss, Professor Erica Wood, and Dr. Catriona Parker to co-design a safer, more equitable, and sustainable immunoglobulin system for Australia. Your research will involve understanding patient journeys, co-designing and prototyping new service pathways, and developing future models and systems of care.

About the Role

We are looking for a candidate with a background in a relevant design discipline, who is interested in developing innovative new research in designing health futures and interdisciplinary connections to medicine and STEM fields. You should be committed to undertaking research into future health systems, emerging technology, and equitable health futures. As a PhD researcher, you will participate in the OPTIMAL CRE by undertaking your own original research designed to contribute to the OPTIMAL co-design agenda.

What We Offer

As a PhD researcher at Monash University, you will have access to world-class research facilities, infrastructure, and learning opportunities. You will be part of a dynamic and supportive research community, with opportunities to collaborate with researchers from haematology, new technologies, health economics, transfusion medicine, nursing, neurology, and infectious and inflammatory diseases. You will also have the opportunity to participate in the FUTURES Hub and ETlab international research community.

How to Apply

To apply for this exciting opportunity, please submit an Expression of Interest form via the Faculty of Art, Design and Architecture at Monash University. Your proposal should demonstrate an enthusiasm for the design of future health systems and services, and theoretical or practice-based research into healthcare service or system design and participatory design or aligned fields. You should also have a strong interest in translation of practice-based research into written outcomes, and will have the opportunity to collaborate on academic writing for conferences and journals.

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