PhD with paid Research Assistantship in Social Network Analysis for Disaster Preparedness

Project Overview

Join a groundbreaking research initiative investigating how personal networks shape responses to compound natural hazard risks. Consecutive disasters—such as sequential floods or cyclones followed by heavy rainfall—are becoming more frequent and disruptive in Australia. While infrastructure and early-warning systems are vital, people’s personal networks—the informal and formal social ties that connect us—are among the most powerful, yet least understood, tools for building resilience.
