PhD Scholarship in Biomechanics and Neural Control in Manual Tasks
University of Wollongong
Centre for Human and Applied Physiology
Defence Science and Technology Organisation
An opportunity exists to apply for a PhD scholarship through the University of Wollongong’s Centre for Human and Applied Physiology, in collaboration with the Defence Science and Technology Organisation. The project involves the investigation of biomechanical strategies and the underlying neural control of discrete and repetitive manual materiel handling tasks. The successful applicant will receive a three-year, full-time research scholarship, funded by the Defence Science and Technology Organisation (DSTO: Melbourne). A PhD scholarship of AUD$25,000 per annum is being offered. Only applicants eligible to enter the Doctoral programme at the University of Wollongong need apply, and it is each applicant’s responsibility to verify this status before submitting an application. Applicants should have a research background in biomechanics and/or motor control.
Each scholarship will support existing collaborative research between the University and the Land Division of the DSTO (Melbourne). It will focus upon the development, implementation and validation of Physical Employment Standards (PES) within the Australian Defence Force (ADF), through the investigation of biomechanical strategies and the underlying neural control of discrete and repetitive manual materiel handling tasks.
The successful applicant is to be based at the University of Wollongong with structured time at DSTO (Melbourne) or ADF establishments over the three-year doctoral research programme. Some of this time in Melbourne may also include, where appropriate, involvement in the larger DSTO PES project.
Inquiries and applications should be directed to Dr. Paul Stapley (02-4239-2514: electronic mail: pstapley@uow.edu.au). All applications must include the following information: (a) a covering letter containing full contact details, a statement of research interests and why you wish to pursue doctoral research, (b) a thorough Curriculum Vitae, and (c) PDF copies of all publications (including conference abstracts and full manuscripts). Applications for these scholarships will be accepted until the closing date.
CLOSING DATE for applications is 25th October, 2013.
