  • PhD/Graduate Assistantship - Australia

    The following position is being advertised. Please do not respond to me
    directly, see contact details within the advertisement.

    Title: PhD/Graduate Assistantship
    Location: University of Western Australia
    Date: August, 2006

    The Biomechanics Research group (located in the School of Human Movement and
    Exercise Science) at the University of Western Australia is currently
    seeking a PhD student to work on 3 1/2 year NHMRC funded project. Briefly,
    the project is investigating the biomechanical and neuromuscular changes
    that occur as the result a training intervention with high-level amateur and
    semi-professional Australian Rules Football players. As well as
    biomechanical testing the project will also use an epidemiological approach
    to investigate the incidence of injury in the participant groups.

    The successful applicant will have a strong background in biomechanical
    testing but must also understand how to use an epidemiological approach to
    investigate the effect of a training program.

    All applicants are first asked to contact Dr. David Lloyd
    (dlloyd@cyllene.uwa.edu.au). Then with the support of Dr. David Lloyd,
    Australian domestic applicants will be asked to apply for and obtain an APA
    Scholarship (see
    http://www.scholarships.uwa.edu.au/home/postgrad/general/australian_postgrad
    uate_awards) international students will be asked to apply for and obtain an
    IPRS (see
    http://www.scholarships.uwa.edu.au/home/postgrad/international/iprs). In
    addition to the usual tax-free stipends ($19, 231/year in 2006) offered by
    these scholarships this position will attract an additional tax-free
    $5000/year (for up to 3 years) as a top-up scholarship. Domestic
    applications close 31st October, 2006, international applications close 31st
    August, 2006.

    "The modern physicist is a quantum theorist on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
    and a student of gravitational relativity theory on Tuesday, Thursday, and
    Saturday. On Sunday he is neither, but is praying to his God that someone,
    preferably himself, will find the reconciliation between the two views." -
