Professors Michael Yelland, David Lloyd, and Rod Barrett in The Centre for Musculoskeletal Research (CMR) of the Griffith Health Institute are offering a PhD scholarship in a study program on chronic lateral epicondylosis (CLE) (tennis elbow). This academic program that will take place at Griffith University’s Gold Coast Campus will involve the coordination of a high-level clinical trial involving regenerative injection and exercise therapies for CLE while allowing the candidate to explore their own areas of interest within the diverse range of outcome measures used in this project, including:
• Neuromotor deficits through surface and fine-wire EMG,
• Tissue mechanics,
• 3-dimensional ultrasound modelling of the elbow
• Pressure algometry and grip strength for assessment of elbow function.
Research program support of AUS$23,728 per annum will be provided to the qualified candidate for a 3 year period. Supplementary funding is available for teaching conditional on qualifications. Funding may be available to assist international applicants.
Application requirements: a bachelors degree with first-class honours or second-class honours (Division A), or a masters degree incorporating a significant research component, from a recognised institution; or a record of research, or a qualification granted by a professional or other body deemed by the Dean, Griffith Graduate Research School, to be of a standard comparable to a bachelor’s degree with second-class honours (Division A). Applicants with postgraduate coursework or who are familiar with research methods, have significant research experience, and/or have postgraduate clinical qualification are strongly encouraged to apply. English language requirements apply to International applicants and other applicants whose previous study was undertaken in a language other than English.
