The Postdoctoral Research Associate will conduct a longitudinal and a cross-sectional analysis of large-scale data of student interactions. The primary purpose of the network analysis is to cast light on the social and cultural landscape of the Universitys student body. The results will inform the targeting of network interventions.

The successful person will work closely with Dr. Petr Matous, Prof Philippa Pattison (Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Education), and Prof. Shane Houston (Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Indigenous Strategy and Services).
