The Centre for Musculoskeletal Research at Griffith University, in collaboration with colleagues at the University of Western Australia and the University of Auckland, have been awarded a number of new grants. The Universities are also opening up scholarship rounds for award in 2014, so we are looking for highly qualified people to fill a number of PhD Scholarship positions to work on our different research projects, which are
1) Acustoelastography and computational biomechanics in tendinopathy
2) Synergy based neuromusculoskeletal modelling to study the
development of knee osteoarthritis (OA)
3) Computational biomechanics to study the development of hip OA
4) Real-time neuromusculoskeletal modelling of knee joint contact forces for
tactile biofeedback and gait training
5) Computational MRI imaging to finite element methods in the hip and knee
6) Neural control of movement in tremor
7) Using MRI to investigate vertebral kinematics underpinning neck pain
and the effectiveness of manual therapy
8) Predicting and preventing lower limb injuries in the armed services
The people will need to work in cross disciplinary team environment and be willing to travel between institutions. If successful in being awarded, the scholarships will cover living allowances and tuition fees for international students. The Universities reserve the right to appoint by invitation and to not fill the positions. Applications will consist of a cover letter detailing experience, CV, academic transcripts from all previous undergraduate and postgraduate studies, and two academic references. Applications will close on the September 14th 2013.
Direct inquires to Prof David Lloyd david.lloyd@uwa.edu.au, Centre for Musculoskeletal Research, Griffith Health Institute, Griffith University, Gold Coast, Australia.
