Southport, Australia Griffith University Full time

Job Description

We are seeking expressions of interest from applicants wishing to complete a Doctor of Philosophy degree (PhD) at Griffith University, Australia. The successful candidate will be co-supervised by and integrated into the research programs of Griffith Health Clinical Science academics Dr Jayishni Maharaj and Prof Jim Woodburn.

The Research Opportunity

This program of research aims to innovate current management interventions to reduce foot ulcerations in people with diabetes. Diabetic foot ulcers are the precursor lesion in 85% of amputations. We plan to combine personalised biophysical modelling, smart textile technologies and advanced manufacturing techniques to optimise and 3D print interventions to reduce the risk of foot ulcers in people with diabetes.

About the Scholarship

Self-funded applicants are welcome. However, applicants requiring funding will be mentored through an Australian Research Training Program (RTP) scholarship application funded by Griffith University. Successful scholarship applicants will receive a tax-free scholarship, indexed annually, and beginning in February or April, for 3 years.

PhD Scholarship

If successful in securing an Australian or Griffith-funded scholarship, the award will provide living allowances and tuition fees for international students for 3-3.5 years. There are also scholarships and awards available to domestic students. We are willing to consider applications from individuals who have secured research funding from sources other than the Australian government or Griffith University.
