The SeaCities Lab is situated at Griffith University’s Gold Coast campus as a world-first, highly inter-disciplinary initiative, building on synergies between established disciplines including architecture and design, urban planning, marine biology and engineering, tourism, and data science.

The SeaCities Lab is one of the largest groups of researchers in Australia due to its affiliation with the Cities Research Institute, Blue Economy CRC, and partnerships within a network of researchers from around the world.

We are constantly looking for highly motivated Research Assistants and PhD researchers with an excellent educational background in architecture, environmental science, or engineering (for scholarships please see Griffith University).
