PhD Researcher - Developing a National Alcohol Risk Index

About the Project

Alcohol consumption is a significant contributor to the burden of disease in Australia, with 3-in-4 Australians regularly drinking alcohol and 1-in-4 adults exceeding the NHMRC's single occasion risky drinking guidelines at least monthly.

This PhD research opportunity aims to develop a national alcohol risk index to prevent future alcohol-related harms. The successful candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary cohort of researchers and students based at Turning Point, Australia's leading national addiction treatment, training and research centre.

Key Responsibilities

  • Conduct research to identify times, places, situations, and development stages that elevate alcohol risks
  • Develop and validate tools or instruments that policy makers and governments can use to reduce alcohol harms and promote the health of everyday Australians
  • Work closely with stakeholders to contextualise harms and develop evidence-based resources to reduce AOD-harms across the community

Eligibility Requirements

This opportunity is available to domestic students only. Candidates will need to fulfil the Monash University minimum requirements for admission to a PhD.
