This Scholarship is available to Australian or New Zealand citizens or Australian Permanent Residents only.
The Scholarship is located at La Trobe’s CAPR – an innovative, multi-disciplinary world-class research facility at the forefront of alcohol research. Our research is used to promote and inform the development of evidence-based, effective alcohol policy in Australia and internationally. Our team of established and emerging experts, both in alcohol and related fields and research methods, offers doctoral students the opportunity to develop and maximise their skills, networks and careers.
The Project will collect ethnographic and qualitative interview data to comprehensively investigate drinking cultures among nurses and lawyers. The Project aims to generate important new knowledge on the cultural and social practices that shape drinking among nurses and lawyers, and illuminate relations between drinking cultures and alcohol-related problems.

The successful applicant will collaborate with the chief investigators to identify an ethnographic thesis project, which is able to contribute directly to the aims of the larger project while also reflecting the interests and aspirations of the student.
