false Two scholarships are being offered by the Discipline of Biomedical Science, Faculty of Medicine, at the University of Sydney, with the participating Industry Partners being the Australia Council for the Arts and the eight major orchestras of Australia. The scholarships are for suitable applicants with a background in medicine, physiotherapy, psychology, or public health who have an interest and/or experience in working in occupational health and injury surveillance, and any background in music or working with musicians. Each of the successful PhD candidates will work as part of a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team consisting of university academics, psychologists, epidemiologists, occupational physicians, physiotherapists and other health and medical experts. Project Summary: Effective occupational health practices within the professional orchestra workplace are urgently needed. This project will identify injury risk factors and predictors of injury, trial targeted interventions designed to better manage and prevent injury, and profile the psychological and physical health of professional musicians working within the eight premier state orchestras of Australia. This project aims to develop, implement and evaluate comprehensive multidisciplinary interventions to reduce the current unacceptably high rate of injury in this population and to support musicians in the management of psychological issues such as music performance anxiety and occupational stress. This project will provide an international benchmark for injury risk assessment and management within the orchestral workplace, assessment of physical and mental health of professional musicians and track injury trajectories, thereby facilitating the development of effective Occupational Health and Safety policies for professional Australian orchestral musicians at risk of a prematurely shortened career due to injury. It is proposed that the successful PhD candidates would focus their research within one of the following areas: <ol> <li>Epidemiological research with a focus on injury surveillance. This project involves several components including a longitudinal population cohort study that will clarify causal factors in injury. The first stage will be collating baseline measures of current physical and psychological health status. The second stage involves a longitudinal study involving regular injury surveillance monitoring (Study 1) and identifying priority risk factors that will be targeted by specifically designed intervention trials (Study 2). </li> <li>Clinical physiotherapy research on injury prevention and management intervention trials. By analyzing the results from stage 1 and 2, intervention trials will be designed and run to identify effective injury prevention and management strategies in professional orchestral musicians and to evaluate the short and long term effects of these interventions. </li> <li>Qualitative and clinical psychology research with a focus on music performance anxiety Implement intervention trials aiming to target musicians who suffer high levels of music performance anxiety and investigate other psychosocial risk factors such as occupational stress. Using the results of the baseline survey, the ongoing surveillance data in the psychosocial area and existing literature, interventions with a selection of professional musicians will be developed, implemented and evaluated.</li> </ol> The successful applicant will have qualifications and experience in any of the following: physiotherapy, psychology, epidemiology and public health; occupational medicine or equivalent. S/he may select to work in one of the above defined areas. They will ideally have experience in one or more of the following areas: survey design and implementation; injury surveillance and injury management, and will have knowledge of applied univariate and multivariate statistics to analyse complex sets of data. Experience in or knowledge of music and/or of musician related health issues would be an advantage. Queries regarding the project should be directed to Dr Bronwen Ackermann, School of Medical Sciences, Room L111 Cumberland Campus C42, The University of Sydney, Lidcombe NSW 2141 (Phone: 02 9531 9472; Fax: 02 9531 9520; Email: b.ackermann@usyd.edu.au). Applicants must have a First Class Honours degree or equivalent, or a Masters Degree, or have extensive clinical experience in an appropriate discipline. Each of the successful candidates should possess excellent oral and written communication skills, excellent clinical skills or an excellent undergraduate record of achievement, with demonstrated competencies in working effectively as a member of a multidisciplinary team. Relevant work experience, publications and demonstrated research skills will also be taken into consideration.

false This scholarship is funded by an ARC Linkage-Project grant and will provide support for 3 years on a full-time basis for a research project leading to a PhD. This is part of a national research project designed to carry out comprehensive and in-depth study of the chemical and microbiological stability of polymeric linings in the gas phase of sewer systems. ISSUE Domestic wastewater is transported to wastewater treatment plants in concrete pipes. In many instances hydrogen sulphide is generated in the wastewater. The low solubility hydrogen sulphide is released to the headspace of the pipes where it is oxidized to sulphuric acid by sulphide oxidizing bacteria. In addition, the sewer wall on the headspace also has fungi that generate strong carboxylic acids that can chelate metals from the concrete structure. The combination of these factors leads to concrete corrosion. This is a serious problem for the water industry. Thus, the cement piping infra-structure used by the Water Industry is valued at $60 billion and 1% of this sum is used in maintenance each year. THIS PROJECT To protect the infrastructure, polymer based permanent coatings, such as epoxies, polyurethanes, etc are used as environmental barriers for concrete pipes exposed to corrosive environments in sewer systems. Furthermore, some of the polymeric coatings are applied as thick layers (~20mm) at great expense. However, the scientific basis to determine the coating thickness is unclear. Currently the understanding of polymer coating degradation within these sour systems is largely empirical. The use of coatings is based more on experience than in science. Optimisation of the performance of sacrificial coatings operating in sour environments, require fundamental research to understand the critical physical and chemical properties of the materials and the effect of sour environments on these properties. The project will create advanced knowledge and innovative technologies to support the Australian water industry in achieving efficient and cost-effective water and waste water utility management. These projects will be conducted in collaboration with University of Queensland and Newcastle University, CH2Mhill, Department of Chemical Engineering and with the following water companies: Brisbane City Council, Gold Coast Water, SA Water, South East Water Limited, Sydney Water Corporation, United Water and Water Corporation. Applicants should have an Honours 1 or 2A degree in Materials Science, Chemistry, Biochemistry or Chemical Engineering. Applicants must be Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents or New Zealand citizens.

true The School of Civil Engineering at The University of Sydney offers a scholarship for a highly qualified student to undertake full-time research leading to a Ph.-D. degree in Environmental Fluid Mechanics. This research project is aimed to investigate the dynamics of biomineral suspended particle matter (SPM) in turbulently-stirred waters, with a particular focus on the interaction between microparticles made of cohesive mineral and micro-organisms in nutrient-controlled conditions. The objective of this research project is to assess the effect of micro-organisms on the floc fractal properties, aggregation and breakup efficiencies, and the time evolution of the SPM floc size and settling velocity distributions in nutrient controlled conditions. The project foresees a comprehensive experimental investigation in a newly designed facility which makes use of advanced techniques including optical recordings with micro-PIV devices. The project is also aimed at describing biomineral SPM dynamics with mathematical models that will be used in conjunction with the experimental data. The PhD candidate will be supervised by Dr. F. Maggi and Prof. J. Patterson. The outputs and outcomes of this project have direct application to hydraulics and hydrology, water quality and management, and belong to the wider effort of our Environmental Fluids team to assess the repercussions of human activities and global water and soil changes on the ecosystem. Applicants must hold a MSc degree or equivalent. The PhD candidate is expected to have a strong background in fluid mechanics, physics or mathematics, and be interested in multidisciplinary approaches involving hydrology, biogeochemistry, and nutrient cycling. Furthermore, the candidate has to be willing in developing and operating experimental equipment such as micro-PIV systems, and be skilled in mathematical/numerical modelling. This opportunity is for commencement in 2010 Semester 1.  Both local and international students are welcome to apply, and international student tuition fees will be covered as part of this scholarship. Applicants must also apply for University-wide scholarships where eligible.

A full-time postgraduate scholarship, funded by the NHMRC is available for an enthusiastic candidate with a good honours degree in psychology or a related field to undertake research studies leading to a PhD in Psychological Medicine, Psychology or Medical Sciences.    A fully funded opportunity has arisen for a PhD candidate to be involved in a multi-country centre of stigma or discrimination experienced by people with mental disorder. We will addresses key areas of everyday life and social participation, including work, marriage, parenting, housing, leisure, and religious activities through survey and in depth interview. The effect of discriminatory experiences upon the outcome of these disorders will be explored within the context of a larger study of young people with mental disorder and their transition to serious mental illness. The candidate can examine the role of social cognition in understanding stigma, discrimination, self esteem and empowerment through a range of psychophysiological techniques.   Applicants with a Masters degree or other higher qualification in psychology, health psychology, epidemiology or the social sciences are particularly encouraged

true A JW and ICM Roderick Scholarship is available for a suitably qualified student with an Honours degree (or equivalent) in Engineering or Science to undertake full time research leading to a PhD degree on the subject of studying and modelling the mechanical behaviour of hexagonal materials during complex loadings. The project aims to develop a comprehensive crystal plasticity model to predict stress-strain curves and texture evolution of hexagonal close-packed metals during complex loadings. Plastic deformation of hexagonal close-packed (hcp) metals occurs by the activation of different slip and twinning systems depending on temperature, strain rate and loading direction. The mechanical behaviour of these materials becomes even more complex once the loading direction and/or the temperature at which deformation is conducted are changed. Different crystal plasticity models have been developed to reproduce the hardening and texture evolutions of such materials. Although these models capture relatively well the behaviour of hcp metals during simple loadings, they fail to reproduce complex loading behaviours. The PhD student will have the opportunity to characterise the microstructure evolution of various hcp metals and to develop constitutive laws that take into account phenomena due to pre-straining such as the interactions between deformation mechanisms. This model will enable the enhancement of the processing technology of these materials and the discovery of new applications for them. Applicants must have a good degree in engineering or science and an interest in materials science and engineering.
