Two scholarships, established by La Trobe University associated with an Australian Research Council Linkage grant, will be awarded to outstanding applicants who are interested in exploring aspects of harms from others’ drinking. We are seeking applicants with a strong track record of academic excellence in public health, epidemiology, health economics, social psychology or public policy. Applicants with quantitative and/or qualitative research experience are strongly encouraged to apply.
The two doctoral students will be located at La Trobe’s CAPR – an innovative, multi-disciplinary world-class research facility at the forefront of alcohol research. Our discoveries are used to promote and inform the development of evidence-based, effective alcohol policy in Australia and internationally. A strong focus on staff development and collaboration makes CAPR a collegial place to work, demonstrated by strong staff retention, effective collaboration, and high productivity. CAPR is connected to research groups from around the world and our team of established and emerging experts offers doctoral students opportunity to develop and maximise their skills, networks and careers.
1) The Harm to Others Scholarship (I) will focus on estimating the extent and cost of harm experienced from others’ drinking nationally. Doctoral students will use and develop their epidemiological and health economics skills.
2) The Harm to Others Scholarship (II) is a survey and mixed-methods doctoral research project studying inequalities in harm from others’ drinking, and the harm experienced from others’ drinking in families and relationships.
The successful applicant will collaborate with the chief investigators to identify a thesis project, which is able to contribute directly to the aims of the larger project while also reflecting the interests and aspirations of the student.
To be eligible to apply for these scholarships, applicants must have:
DUE DATE: International students: Midnight September 30th, 2020/All other students: Midnight 31st October, 2020
The successful applicant will be required to also submit a formal application for entry into the PhD program at La Trobe University (see details on how to apply for candidature) by the DUE DATE.
