Dr Everuss is also currently the Program Support Coordinator for the MBAA Bachelor of Arts. Dr Everuss’ research interests are located in the sociological study of mobilities, sovereignty, migration, and borders. His work has studied various subjects related to these themes, including how systems of mobility are incorporated into representations of sovereign outsiders, the way borders are racially constructed through everyday performances of the law, and how public opinions of climate change are impacted by national context. Dr Everuss' research has been published in Political Geography, Distinktion: Journal of Social Theory, the Journal of Sociology and Applied Mobilities. Dr Everuss’ inaugural book, Digital Mobilities and Smart Borders: How Digital Technologies Transform Migration and Sovereign Borders, was published by De Gruyter in 2024.
In 2017 Dr Everuss was appointed as coordinator of the Hawke EU Centre. In this role Dr Everuss has facilitated significant EU focused public events and research activities. These include international summits on migration and refugee policy, as well as seminars and workshops examining urban mobilities, disasters, and the social impacts of modern robotics and AI. In 2018 Dr Everuss worked as part of an international team to develop successful grant applications under the EU’s Erasmus+ Programme to establish a Jean Monnet Network and Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence at the University of South Australia. As Coordinator and Research Associate of these Jean Monnet Actions, Dr Everuss continues to work on building EU-Australia networks and facilitating EU focussed research activities.
