However, I am open to adjusting my research area to suit your interests, as I possess flexibility in this regard.
I can provide my CV, previous degrees, and IELTS documents and further details about my academic background, research endeavors, and language skills. I firmly believe that I can make significant progress in my studies under your invaluable guidance and supervision. Therefore, I kindly request an Expression of Interest (EOI) from you to act as my supervisor as the PhD program at Deakin University has been announced.
I look forward to the possibility of discussing our research interests further.

Health and Medical Research Workforce Audit – survey closes 9 August 2024
The Department of Health and Aged Care is conducting a national audit of the Health and Medical Research Workforce (Audit), supported by Mandala Partners. The findings from this Audit will help inform the development of the National Health and Medical Research Strategy, and support future policy planning on matters that impact health and medical researchers in Australia.
As part of this Audit the Department is conducting a National Survey to understand the demographic features, work environment, challenges, movements and motivations of health and medical researchers across Australia. If you have at some point worked in the health and medical research space, you will be eligible to complete the survey. You may be in:
- a direct research role (performing research as a primary or secondary activity, in paid or unpaid roles including research students, and in university, medical research institutes, industry, health services or other settings), or
- a supportive role (not directly performing research yourself but supporting those who do, e.g. clinical trial coordinator, research nurses, biostatistician, laboratory technician, medical product research and development, research support officer, etc), or
- a non-research role currently but have had one or more of the roles above in the past.
The survey can be accessed here and will be open until Friday 9th August, 2024. It should take approximately 15 – 25 minutes to complete, with the ability to come back to the survey and complete it prior to submission.
If you have any enquiries regarding the survey or the Workforce Audit in general, please contact: HMRWorkforceAudit@health.gov.au
