Advanced Researcher – Sleep Disturbance in Alcohol Use Disorder
7 days ago
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled researcher to undertake a PhD project investigating sleep disturbance in clients seeking treatment for alcohol use disorder.
About the ProjectAlcohol use disorder is a leading cause of injury and chronic disease and mortality in Australia, and the leading cause of disability or death for those aged 15-49. Despite advances in our understanding of the neurobiology of AUD, and in particular the role of the orexin system in the drive to seek and consume alcohol, the clinical treatment of AUD by psychosocial and/or pharmacological interventions has proven difficult.
This PhD project will work on clinical trials and studies at Turning Point to investigate sleep disturbances in patients seeking treatment for AUD. The project will involve collection and analysis of both subjective and objective measures of sleep with outcomes of this work helping to delineate the role and impact that comorbid sleep disturbances have on the course and progression of recovery from AUD.
About the Supervisory TeamThe principal supervisors will be Professor Dan Lubman AM, Professor Victoria Manning, Associate Professor Shalini Arunogiri and Dr Rowan Ogeil.
Professor Lubman AM is a Professor of Addiction Studies at Monash University, Executive Clinical Director of Turning Point, and has worked across mental health and drug treatment settings in the UK and Australia.
Professor Manning is a Professor of Addiction Studies at Monash University, and the Head of Research and Workforce Development at Turning Point. She is a chartered psychologist (UK), and holds a PhD on neurocognition and co-occurring disorders.
Associate Professor Arunogiri is an Associate Professor of Addiction Studies at Monash University, Clinical Director of the Hamilton Centre, and a Strategic Lead of the Clinical & Social Research (CSR) team at Turning Point.
Dr Ogeil is a Senior Research Fellow at Monash University, and the Strategic Lead of the National Addiction and Mental Health Surveillance Unit at Turning Point.
Eligibility RequirementsCandidates will need to fulfil the Monash University minimum requirements for admission to a PhD detailed here: Monash University PhD Admission Requirements.
BenefitsThis PhD scholarship offers a unique opportunity to work with a multidisciplinary team of researchers and students based at Turning Point, Australia's leading national addiction treatment, training and research centre, based in Melbourne, Australia.
As a successful candidate, you will be part of a vibrant academic community and have access to world-class research facilities and resources.
The estimated salary for this position is $55,000 - $60,000 per annum, depending on qualifications and experience.
How to ApplyTo express your interest in this scholarship and PhD research opportunity, we request candidates provide:
- A cover letter describing your research interests and why you would like to undertake a PhD (maximum one page)
