Postgraduate Medical Research Scholarships - Interdisciplinary Sleep Health Research

Overview

Insufficient or disordered sleep is now recognised as a major cause of reduced alertness, fall-asleep crashes, heart disease, stroke, metabolic dysfunction and impaired mental health. Understanding the biology of sleep and maintaining sleep health mandates an interdisciplinary approach encompassing aspects of respiratory medicine, neurology, cardiology, endocrinology and metabolism. The Centre of Integrated Research and Understanding of Sleep (CIRUS) is an interdisciplinary centre of clinical research excellence funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council over 5 years. CIRUS supports world-class research aimed to inform clinical practice and alter health policy. The next generation of sleep researchers will be fostered through the national and international collaborations of the centre. PhD scholarships are for research that will be supervised or co-supervised by the CIRUS investigators at the participating institutions.

Eligibility:

Applicants must be an Australian citizen, a New Zealand citizen or an Australian permanent resident.

Amount awarded:

Valued at NHMRC Rate


Closing date:

26 November 2010

Application guide:

Applications must be submitted via the Scholarships Office at the University of Sydney, who will forward your application to CIRUS. Further information about CIRUS and application forms are available at http://www.cirus.org.au/research/opportunities/for-support/index.php. Preference will be given to candidates enrolled, or intending to enrol, in a PhD. It is expected that CIRUS scholarship holders will apply for other formal awards (e.g. NMHRC, APA, UPA scholarships, etc.).
