Curtin University Australia Ph.D. Scholarship

About Curtin University Australia PhD. Scholarship in Public Health

An exceptional individual can pursue a three-year, fully funded PhD at the School of Public Health by conducting research at the intersection of systems modelling and health economics.

To simulate the lifecycle dynamics, the health status, and the health outcomes of the Western Australian population, the PhD will create a microsimulation model of the health system.

The model will be developed using multiple sources of empirical data, including cross-sectional surveys, longitudinal surveys, administrative databases, vital statistics, and Census data.

The PhD will also consider using the microsimulation model to evaluate policy interventions and implement this method in practical situations.

The PhD candidate will be supervised by experts in health economics, health data analytics, and systems modelling.

The health economics aspect will be led by Dr Delia Hendrie and Associate Professor Suzanne Robinson, and the health data analytics and systems modelling will be by Associate Professor James Boyd and Dr Sean Randall.
