Tyler Riordan, postdoctoral research fellow

Tyler is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at UQ Business School. In this role, he is helping to evaluate post-disaster reconstruction incentivisation programs against physical, financial, social, and emotional dimensions of resilience. In his previous role, he co-authored the 'Queensland Tourism Workforce Crisis Resilience and Recovery Strategy'.

He holds a PhD in Hospitality and Anthropology (UQ), and his thesis investigated the interactions of migrants who work in the platform economy. This research culminated in the publication of the multilingual 'Humanising food delivery work in Australia toolkit' which encourages multiple stakeholders to improve the sector. Tyler’s broader research examines labour and workforces, with a focus on the ways disadvantaged communities navigate employment, training, and the digital platform (‘gig’) economy.
