1 month ago


Southport, Australia Griffith University Full time

Griffith University is a leading institution in exercise oncology and cancer survivorship research, with a strong focus on innovative projects that transform the lives of individuals affected by breast cancer. We are currently seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team and contribute to a groundbreaking project focused on prevention strategies for breast cancer-related lymphoedema.

The successful candidate will work closely with our experienced researchers to develop and implement a multi-state, randomised controlled trial aimed at evaluating the efficacy of current usual care plus potential BCRL prevention therapies versus usual care alone for people diagnosed with breast cancer. This project has the potential to significantly improve standard breast cancer care and enhance the quality of life for those affected by this condition.

To be considered for this role, applicants must hold 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 discipline. Strong communication skills and a commitment to achieving research excellence are essential. Desirable skills include clinical experience with people with cancer and statistical programming and analysis skills.

As a scholarship holder, you will have the opportunity to work with a dynamic team of researchers and contribute to cutting-edge projects that make a real difference in the lives of others. Our university offers a supportive and inclusive environment, with a strong focus on professional and personal development. We welcome applications from domestic and international candidates who share our passion for innovation and excellence in research.

This PhD position offers an annual stipend of $34,752 (indexed) for a period of up to three years of full-time study. In addition, international applicants may be eligible for a Griffith University International Postgraduate Research Scholarship to cover tuition fees for up to three years.
