Founded in 1974, Deakin is a public university in Victoria with 61,000 students across five campuses: Melbourne Burwood, Geelong Waurn Ponds, Geelong Waterfront, Warrnambool, and the online Cloud Campus. We are a progressive and open-minded university, with the highest student satisfaction in Victoria and consistently ranked in the top 1% of the world's universities. The Post-doctoral Research Fellow will initiate and conduct research in the areas of harmful digital marketing to children and youth and global health. Specifically, the Research Fellow will coordinate the #DigitalYouth study, which will involve recruiting and collecting video digital use data from 300 children and youth and work collaboratively with the Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation to apply Artificial Intelligence techniques to identify harmful marketing (unhealthy food, alcohol, gambling, e-cigarettes) in this data. The work will build on a proof-of-concept system already developed by the research team.
