Dear all,
I have a PhD scholarship available for someone to work on sustainable diets/sustainable food systems for Pacific Island countries. It's open to NZ and international students and provides NZD 25,000 per year for three years. Food composition work will necessarily feature in the research.

PhD Scholarship in the College of Health -- Massey University Doctoral Scholarships
Massey University, Wellington Campus, School of Public Health and/or Food and Nutrition invites applications for a PhD scholarship to study sustainable diets and food systems in Pacific Island countries.
The ecosystems and agro-ecological zones of Pacific Island countries are rich in terrestrial and marine biodiversity that would support sustainable diets for the populations. Yet the nearly-11 million people in these countries have the highest rates in the world of obesity and diabetes, and other diet-related chronic diseases. Their diets are often dominated by high fat/high sugar imported convenience foods, and agricultural exploitation is leading to extensive loss of agro-biodiversity and degradation of land. Many of these Small Island Developing States (SIDS) are precarious in terms of their vulnerabilities to various manifestations of climate change, and other anthropogenic and natural phenomena.
Various research groups have worked on the development of methods, metrics and indicators to characterise sustainable diets and food systems. These remain largely theoretical, and to date have not been widely applied in order to further develop, validate or use them as tools. The aim of this project is to investigate three methodological frameworks (see references) which address sustainable diets and food systems, and to develop, validate, customise and apply as a tool to the unique ecosystems of Pacific Island countries. The processes employed will include transdisciplinary project design and execution, and multi-sectoral involvement for policy ramifications and development.
The outcomes will have application to national and regional policies and interventions and to intergovernmental commitments including the Sustainable Development Goals, Aichi Targets, the International Treaty on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, the Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, and more. It will addresses the issues elaborated in December 2015 by the UN General Assembly (A/70/472/Add.2 - paragraph 11) in the Small Island Developing States Partnership (SIDS) Framework, in accordance with paragraph 101 of the SAMOA Pathway, to monitor and ensure the full implementation of pledges and commitments through partnerships for SIDS. This project will also contribute to the action-oriented, results-focused Global Multi-stakeholder SIDS Partnership Dialogue, and will directly and indirectly address each of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (2015) and the commitment of the Third International Conference on Small Island Developing States (2014). Ultimately, the goal is to realise tangible, long-lasting benefits for nutrition and food security, public health, and for environmental sustainability, e.g., conservation of food biodiversity through sustainable use.
Research will be supervised by Professor Barbara Burlingame. The scholarship provides a tax-free stipend of NZ$25,000 per annum for three years. Both international and domestic students are eligible.
Applicants should have or expect to receive a BSc(Hons) or MSc degree or equivalent in nutrition, health science, public health, epidemiology, or related field; coursework or project work in diet/health-related sustainable development, food composition/consumption studies, environmental toxicology/exposure assessments is highly desirable. Scholarship regulations should be reviewed prior to applying.
Applications close September 5. Starting date to be determined. Applications including a CV, academic transcript, and letter of motivation should be sent by email to Professor Burlingame,b.burlingame@ massey.ac.nz
