PhD students required – University of Melbourne
The Affective Development and Psychopathology Team (ADAPT), Melbourne School of
Psychological Sciences, University of Melbourne, invites PhD students to be involved in
longitudinal research with children and adolescents. The successful candidate(s) will be
enrolled as a PhD student either in the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences or the
Department of Psychiatry. The candidate(s) will be part of a team and will be involved in
data collection and analysis for one of two projects: 1) a project examining the
relationship between family environments and brain development in a cohort of pre-pubertal
children and 2) a project investigating the effects of adrenarchal timing on brain
development in a cohort of pre-pubertal children. Both projects involve structural and
functional MRI and the candidate(s) would be heavily involved in analysis of imaging
data.
Top-up scholarships will be available (i.e., full scholarships are not being offered).
Please contact Sarah Whittle (swhittle(a)unimelb.edu.au) if interested (or pass on to
potential PhD students who you think might be interested).
