PhD in Australia + living allowance researching bubbles in divers

Tuition-funded Health Science PhD in Australia with $27k living allowance researching bubbles in divers

Interested? Please first check if you are eligible, here https://futurestudents.curtin.edu.au...sion-criteria/

You should have a research-based Masters Degree (or an Honours Degree) in a health-related field with a research thesis or dissertation that was examined. By 'research-based Masters' I mean two years of full-time research and then having your thesis/dissertation examined. This is not the same as a one-year Masters Degree involving classes, followed by a small research project (e.g. a one-year MBA would not be eligible).

If you are eligible then the Curtin University Faculty of Health Sciences have announced ten PhD scholarships, covering tuition fees (as long as the candidate finishes on schedule), plus a living allowance (currently $27,596 per year, tax-free). Theres a catch - I will have to nominate a potential candidate and we will compete for one of these ten international scholarships. I do not have a scholarship to offer, yet, but if we are successful then the candidate will live in beautiful Perth, Western Australia for three years or so, reading everything that is known about bubbles in divers and measuring bubbles in recreational divers. Any successful applicant will need to enrol before the end of this year.

Training will be given in recording bubbles, bio-statistics, and epidemiology. Applicants need not be qualified scuba divers. Under certain conditions scholarship recipients may also work part-time to top-up their income.

E-mail [email protected] for more details if interested, but please first consider 1) if you are eligible and 2) could you really move to Australia for three years.

PS: Potential candidates need not apply to the university just yet, the process at this early stage is for PhD supervisors (me) to propose a potential student and a potential project, then it's fingers crossed for a while. The deadline is in two weeks time, July 15th.
