The ARC Centre for the Digital Child comprises researchers from six Australian universities, including Edith Cowan University, and is led by and headquartered at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Brisbane. The Centre’s research innovates and intersects across a range of inter-connected cross-disciplinary projects, providing evidence focused on three key program areas – the Healthy Child, the Educated Child and the Connected Child. We are currently seeking expressions of interest to undertake doctoral research at the ARC Centre for the Digital Child, based at the Centre’s Edith Cowan University node, in each of the three key program areas.
