4 weeks ago
**About the Project:**
We are currently seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our exercise oncology and cancer survivorship research team at Griffith University. The successful applicant will be working on a funded project that aims to shift the paradigm from arresting progression to the prevention of breast cancer-related lymphoedema.
**Job Description:
- The primary focus of this exciting opportunity is to evaluate the efficacy of current usual care plus potential BCRL prevention therapies versus usual care alone in a multi-state, randomised controlled trial for people diagnosed with breast cancer.
- The project will also quantify the health impacts of adding lymphoedema preventive strategies to usual care alone, including pain, fatigue, infection, anxiety, depression, physical function, work ability, relationships, and overall quality of life.
**Key Responsibilities:**
- Design, implement, and analyze a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of current usual care plus potential BCRL prevention therapies versus usual care alone.
- Collect and analyze data on the health impacts of adding lymphoedema preventive strategies to usual care alone.
**Requirements:**
- A bachelor's degree with first-class honours or a master's degree incorporating a significant research component within the fields of physiotherapy, exercise science, exercise oncology, kinesiology, epidemiology, or a related health degree.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with national and international stakeholders, including consumers, clinicians, and industry partners.
**Scholarship Details:**
The 2025 Griffith University Postgraduate Research Scholarship offers an annual stipend of $34,752 (indexed) for a period of up to three years of full-time study. In addition, international applicants will be awarded a Griffith University International Postgraduate Research Scholarship to cover tuition fees for up to three years.
**What We Offer:**
- An opportunity to work on a cutting-edge research project with a team of experienced researchers at Griffith University.
- Access to state-of-the-art facilities and equipment.
- The support of a mentor and a network of peers and colleagues.
**How to Apply:**
Please submit your expression of interest, including your CV, academic transcript, and statement addressing your suitability for the project/scholarship, to m.plinsinga@griffith.edu.au. The closing date for expressions of interest is 5pm Sunday 29 November 2024.
