The School of Exercise and Nutrition Sciences at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) is offering a number PhD scholarships for outstanding candidates to work on human movement biomechanics and energetics. The PhDs would fall under the supervision of Professor Glen Lichtwark (Head of School, Exercise and Nutrition Science) and/or Professor Nick Brown (Head of School, Clinical Sciences).
Areas of interest include energy consumption and cumulative musculoskeletal load assessment in real-world settings (e.g. sport or rehabilitation), foot biomechanics, muscle and tendon mechanics, and adaptations to exercise.
The successful candidates will have the opportunity to:
