Health and biomedical informatics is an exciting application domain for ground-breaking discoveries in information, communication, cognitive and organisational science needed to support health services throughout the next decade.
The Centre for Health Informatics (CHI) is Australia’s largest internationally recognised academic health informatics research group, conducting fundamental and applied research focusing on the design, evaluation and application of decision-support technologies for healthcare and the biosciences.
CHI is offering three full time PhD scholarships to undertake research in the following areas:

We will also consider proposals from exceptional candidates in other areas related to the Centre’s overall research program.
