Dr Zoe Doubleday

Research Fellow

School of Biological Sciences

Faculty of Sciences

Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.

Zoe has built a research programme focused on the dual themes of marine ecology and science communication. She is particularly known for her research on cephalopods and "weedy" ecology, as well as using biominerals to unlock the environmental and biological histories of animals. Zoe’s aim is to build knowledge and develop solutions to address today’s pressing environmental challenges.

Zoe also trains scientists about how to boost the readership and readability of their scientific papers, presenting invited seminars both locally and internationally (see her interview in Nature about “How to write a first class paper” - www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-02404-4).

For her commitment to science and excellence in science communication Zoe has received 15 awards: including a 2017 SA Young Tall Poppy Award and Thinkable's inaugural Peer Prize for Women in Science.

In 2018, Zoe was elected to the Board and Executive of Science & Technology Australia under the presidency of Prof Emma Johnston AO. STA is Australia’s peak body in science and tech and represents over 70,000 Australian scientists, as well as runs Superstars of STEM and Science Meets Parliament.

In early 2019, Zoe will join the Future Industries Institute (University of South Australia) to establish an inter-disciplinary research programme that is inspired by environmental challenges and responsive to the needs of industry and the community.
