MQRES PhD Scholarship Australia
A
Macquarie University Research Excellence (MQRES) PhD
scholarship in Clinical Psychology is available on a
project evaluating cognitive behavioural treatment for
anxiety disorders in children. The successful candidate
will join a research team in Macquarie University’s
Centre for Emotional Health
http://www.ceh.mq.edu.au
and will be supervised by Dr Jennifer Hudson and
Professor Ron Rapee. The Centre focuses on the
understanding, treatment and prevention of anxiety,
depression and related mental health problems. The PhD
project will be part of a large randomized clinical
trial evaluating the efficacy of parent anxiety
management in the treatment of children with anxiety.
Possible areas include: evaluating the importance of
homework tasks in the treatment of children with
anxiety; peer relationships and anxiety disorders.
MQRES Scholarships are available to
Australian and international students. Applicants should
have completed an Australian four-year undergraduate
degree in Psychology with first class honours, or
demonstrate equivalent research qualifications (such as
a Masters degree with substantial thesis component) from
an Australian or overseas University.
The scholarship pays a living allowance currently
$19,616 per annum, tax exempt (2007) and the tenure is
3.5 years full time, subject to satisfactory progress.
Tuition fees will be funded for the scholarship tenure,
with domestic students receiving Research Training
Scheme (RTS) placement for their tuition, and
International award holders having their fees sponsored.
Additional funds will be provided to cover direct
research expenses, and several generous internal schemes
exist to request expenses for travel to visit overseas
laboratories and attend conferences.
