Request for PhD Research Participants

I would like to invite you to participate in this UNE PhD qualitative study (Ethics approval: HE24-129, valid 10/7/2026) investigating how academics maintain resilience and wellbeing using workplace technology. Your participation will involve completing a short pre-screening online survey, ensuring the target group, academics employed in a higher education institution, who use workplace technology for work completion are selected (public or private university). An invitation to participate in an online video interview and submission of a short reflection will be sent to participants who meet pre-screening criteria.

Further information: For more about the study and participate, contact Marie (Bernie) Fisher via email:mfisher@myune.edu.au
