2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Atlantic Stories, Colonial Legacies and the Bodleian Library, 1650-1800
Summary of PhD Program:
In response, this project proposes a series of case studies from within the Bodleian’s collections 1650-1800, to highlight early modern Atlantic colonial legacies and curatorial practice. Research questions include: what can an archival object or set of objects tell us about colonial activity? How has information about these objects been represented in Bodleian finding aids, both historically and currently? How has that created absences or silences relating to the history of empire?

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in People Centred Productivity as a Pathway to Achieving Timely Circular Economy Interventions
Summary of PhD Program:
The ethos of circular economy presents a pathway many products and services can make significant strides towards Net zero, however the adaptation from current processes and products to those enabled by the circular economy is challenging as investment is market lead, and currently the market is limited. The project looks to utilise an ethical combination of people and data to provide a transitional pathway to rapidly demonstrate and deliver future markets within the circular economy without the need for significant investment in either adapting complex design or capabilities through capex.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Reframing International Education and Student Mobility in a Changing Geopolitical Context
Summary of PhD Program:
This project aims to investigate how international education and international student mobility have changed in response to the changing geopolitical context. It addresses the nature, circumstances and forms of the impacts of geopolitics and socio-political contexts on international education relationships.
This topic is of strategic benefits to Deakin given the university’s strong commitment to strengthening its global engagement, learning abroad, internationalisation of the student experience, and support for international students, as demonstrated in its Guiding Globalisation Plan. The proposed PhD topic aligns closely with the Research for Educational Impact (REDI)’s program: Education, Governance and Policy for Sustainable Societies.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Predicting cognitive performance in ADHD with advanced deep learning and network analysis in functional neuroimaging (Deakin led)
Summary of PhD Program:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and or impulsivity. The diagnosis is based on subjective report, and as yet there are no objective biomarkers used clinically. In addition to the core symptoms, individuals with ADHD often present with a profile of cognitive deficits, that has been argued to results from lapse of attention. Being able to identify the brain networks and neural signature of an attentional lapse, will not only further our understanding of the neurobiology, but could also be used to monitor and predict cognitive performance, offering potential target for intervention.

15. Fully Funded PhD Position in Federated Learning Techniques for Cross-Domain Wi-Fi Sensing in Healthcare
Summary of PhD Program:
Federated learning (FL) is a machine learning technique that allows multiple devices to collaboratively train a global model while keeping their data local. This is particularly useful for cross-domain Wi-Fi sensing, where devices in different environments collect different types of data.
One of the key challenges in cross-domain Wi-Fi sensing is the heterogeneity of data. Data collected from different environments may have different distributions due to factors such as the number of devices, the size and shape of the environment, and the presence of obstacles. This can make it difficult to train a single model that can accurately perform Wi-Fi sensing tasks across all domains.

16. Fully Funded PhD Position in Unravelling Epigenetic changes in Diabetic Cardiomyopathy: A Novel Approach Using Human iPSC-Derived Cardiac Organoids
Summary of PhD Program:
This exciting fully funded PhD studentship offers an opportunity to explore the correlation between Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and increased mortality from myocardial infarctions (MI) in 3D cell culture models. People living with T2D have a twofold risk of dying from heart disease, accounting for 30-50% of all deaths in this group (BHF). Key factors in this increased mortality post-MI are elevated long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) and failure to adapt to hypoxia (Dodd et al 2018).

19. Fully Funded PhD Position in Co-creating a HealthTech evaluation approach that captures what matters most to people living with one or more long-term conditions
Summary of PhD Program:
This research seeks to explore the balance of the data needed to ensure useful, valid and reliable measurement, whilst considering how to design and present measures that are usable and acceptable to participants. The research will involve comparing and contrasting approaches commonly used in HealthTech evaluation in terms of their appropriateness and acceptability to participants. Co-creation will also be employed to define ‘what matters most’ to people with long-term conditions, their families and wider communities in order to supplement more traditional approaches to measuring patient outcomes and experiences.
