PhD Scholarship: Social Networks for Disaster Preparedness and Climate Resilience

Come join us! We are recruiting a fully funded PhD student at the University of Sydney to join an ARC Discovery Project examining how personal networks shape disaster preparedness and climate resilience.

The project combines large-scale survey data, fieldwork across Australia, and advanced statistical network modelling to understand how personal networks and human-environment relationships influence how communities prepare for and respond to environmental hazards.

The successful candidate will join the Social Dynamics and Environmental Change Lab and work with collaborators at the University of Sydney, Queensland University of Technology, and the University of New South Wales.
