Deakin University Women PhD Scholarship

Deakin University offers a fully funded PhD scholarship focused on ‘Anti-Doping Among Women,’ co-designed with national anti-doping and sporting organizations and funded by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The project explores factors influencing female athletes’ use of performance and image enhancing drugs, with research conducted at Deakin University and potential international collaboration. The scholarship provides a stipend and additional benefits for up to four years, with full tuition fee coverage for international students and relocation support.

Stipend, relocation allowance, tuition fee waiver for international students, and health cover for the visa duration.

Domestic students (Australian citizens, Australian PRs, or New Zealand citizens) and international students who meet Deakin University's PhD entry requirements, hold a first-class Honours degree or a Master’s with strong research, and are willing to enrol full-time.

Email a CV and a cover letter expressing interest to A/Prof Matthew Dunn; shortlisted candidates will be invited to submit a formal application through Deakin’s portal.
