Promotion in Agrar-, Umwelt- und Geowissenschaften

The project is situated in the Griffith Centre for Social and Cultural Research (GCSCR) at Griffith University. The GCSCR is dedicated to increasing understanding of current challenges facing the modern world. Through the application of innovative humanities and social science research, incorporating the knowledge of academics from a broad range of interrelated disciplines, GCSCR is at the cutting edge of humanities and social science discourse.

The PhD candidate will be attached to the GCSCR’s ‘Safeguarding Heritage’ research program where they will have an opportunity to work alongside a multidisciplinary group of researchers committed to creating new research that deepens our understanding of the challenges and issues confronting heritage in contemporary society.

We are currently looking for a PhD candidate to investigate climate impacts on organisational sustainability of community heritage organisations in rural and remote Australia. Australia’s community heritage sector – comprised of volunteer-managed galleries, libraries, archives, museums and historical societies – serves vital functions in shaping public history. However, the sector faces a sustainability crisis due to mounting pressures that pose a challenge to the long-term futures of many of its institutions and put at risk the diversity and accessibility of the nation’s historical record.

This PhD scholarship is connected to the Australian Research Council Discovery Project ‘Co-creating a sustainable future for the community heritage sector’ (DP250101408). That project aims to collaborate with community heritage organisations from across Australia to co-develop strategies for recognising value, measuring organisational sustainability and creating benchmarks for sustainable practice. The primary focus of this PhD research is to account for the impacts of climate change (e.g. extreme heat, bushfires, flooding events etc) on community heritage organisations, specifically in relation to organisational sustainability. The PhD research will include case study institutions from rural and remote Australia drawn from the larger Discovery Project sample.

Success in this role requires collaboration with the other members of the research team and the case study institutions to deliver a focused project with academic and industry-focussed outputs. The research will be supervised by the Discovery Project’s Chief Investigator, Professor Sarah Baker, with the project’s Senior Research Fellow as co-supervisor.

The intended commencement date of the scholarship is Intake 3 (7 July 2025) or Intake 4 (13 October 2025) and can be based at either the Gold Coast or Brisbane South (Nathan) campus. Remote candidature within Australia will also be considered.

The 2025 Griffith University Postgraduate Research Scholarship has an annual stipend of $34,752 (indexed) for a period of up to three years of full-time study. Please see the GUPRS Conditions of Award for more information.

A successful International applicant will also be awarded a Griffith University International Postgraduate Research Scholarship to cover tuition fees for up to three years. Please see the GUIPRS Conditions of Award for more information.

Smoke is composed of airborne liquid and solid particulates and gases that are emitted when fuels undergo combustion or burning. This project focuses on developing integrated and interactive coupled models of smoke, fire, atmosphere, and canopy; smoke operational and decision support systems; and plume-rise models for wildland fires. The end goal is to improve our understanding of smoke processes and mechanisms, such as factors determining plume evolution, feedbacks to ambient conditions, impacts of multiple updrafts on fire energy and plume rise, and formation of superfog.

International and domestic applicants are invited to apply. The position is open until filled.

Barley is a fundamental ingredient in the brewing and distilling industries, but traditional malting processes that germinate and dry grain are resource-intensive and challenged by rising energy costs.

This PhD project aims to identify natural genetic variation in barley that contributes to improved performance during gas-powered kilning, the most costly processing step for the $484M Australian malt export industry. As part of a team including seed biologists, maltsters, and breeders, the student will generate new information regarding the genetics and physiology of grain drying.

The student will be based in a laboratory fully equipped for micromalting, microbrewing, and grain quality analysis, and will gain skills in quantitative genetics, grain biology and grain processing. Outputs will contribute to the generation of reduced-input barley varieties that require less energy to process and are highly valued in domestic and export markets.

We are currently looking for a PhD candidate to support development of offshore renewable energy and other activities in the Blue Economy through environmental characterisation.

The primary focus of this role is method development for incorporating hydroacoustic (echosounder) datasets into marine spatial planning. This project includes data analysis, mathematical modelling, and ecological application of analytical results. Success in this role requires collaboration with Echoview Software and the Blue Economy CRC.

The aim of this study is to develop methods that harness the power of hydroacoustic instruments (echosounders) to provide better ecological information for use in marine spatial planning (MSP). Marine renewable energy and offshore aquaculture are rapidly growing sectors of the blue economy with important roles to play in increasing seafood production and energy security, as well as combatting climate change. However, there is still a high degree of uncertainty and concern about the effects of these new activities on the environment, all aspects of which are already under pressure from anthropogenic activities (e.g. fishing, shipping, pollution, climate change). Careful planning and effective monitoring strategies are needed to ensure the blue economy is developed sustainably in Australia and globally, without adverse impacts on the marine environment. MSP is an integrated framework that can support the ongoing functioning of the marine environment alongside blue economy development and other human activities. MSP identifies which areas of the ocean are appropriate for different activities, relying on geospatial data layers that span human uses as well as areas of ecological importance. By bringing together multiple streams of information, MSP can facilitate adaptive, ecosystem-based management of anthropogenic activities, which is critical for delivery of environmental, social, and economic sustainability. The dynamic nature of marine ecosystems in space and time has been highlighted as a challenge for integration of ecological layers (such as essential habitat for fish species) into MSP. An additional challenge is the general lack of data for generating useable information in most marine areas. There is an ongoing need to establish which physical and biological parameters need to be measured in order to identify appropriate uses and activities for an area, and to monitor ecosystem function over time. Research is also needed to determine the necessary resolution and scale of ecological measurements, the tools for acquiring them, and methods for translating them into information layers suitable for MSP.

This project will: (i) review the literature, drawing especially on the European and North American experiences, to identify key ecosystem properties that might be impacted by different classes of blue economy activity, and to identify the gaps in existing data collection protocols; (ii) identify metrics of impact and/or condition that can be routinely measured by hydroacoustic techniques and specifically those that might plug identified gaps; (iii) apply the findings of (ii) to case study(ies) area(s) where developments are occurring, for example the BEZ; (iv) make recommendations for more cost-effective monitoring of Blue Economy developments using hydroacoustics.
Please note:
The successful applicant will have the opportunity to undertake mandatory training courses at GU such as research methods, project planning and management etc and will attend the following courses to build understanding and practical skills in the field of hydroacoustics:

Echoview’s acoustics fundamentals course: hydroacoustic theory and data processing
Advanced Echoview courses as needed (e.g. multibeam data processing)
