Ph.D. scholarships

[Robert Mannell <robert.mannell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone

We have a 6 PhD scholarships currently being advertised for six projects:-

Project 1: Management of Children with Auditory Neuropathy
Project 2: Objective Measurement of Tinnitus and its Remediation
Project 3: Overcoming Barriers to the use of Hearing Aids
Project 4: Cortical Evaluation of Cochlear Implant Performance
Project 5: Central Auditory Disabilities in Children with Language 
Impairment
Project 6: Improved coding and transduction of pitch, fine 
spatio-temporal structure and speech in noise for cochlear implant users

Closing Date: 30 January 2009

Six full time PhD scholarships are available in the Department of 
Linguistics, Macquarie University, in conjunction with the HEARing 
Co-operative Research Centre. The PhD projects are listed below. 
Applicants should clearly label their project of interest on the front 
of their application form e.g. Hearing CRC Project #1.

Successful candidates must commence by 16 February 2009.

Hearing CRC scholarships are available to domestic or international 
students. International Students should note this is a stipend only 
scholarship and they would be responsible for the payment of tuition 
fees and compulsory overseas health cover.

Applicants should hold the equivalent of an Australian undergraduate 
degree with at least Second Class Division 1 honours (such as a Masters 
degree with a substantial thesis component) in a relevant discipline as 
indicated in the project description. The scholarship pays a living 
allowance at the Australian Postgraduate Award rate, currently $20,427 
per annum, tax exempt (2009), and the tenure is a maximum 3 years full 
time, subject to satisfactory progress.

VERY sorry about the short notice. It only occurred to me just now to
post on this list (I'm currently on annual leave).

These scholarships are particularly suitable for Australian citizens or 
permanent residents as they are living expenses only scholarships. 
Research students with Australian citizenship (or with Australian 
permanent residence status) have their fees covered by the government. 
Nevertheless, foreign students who are able to cover tuition fees and 
compulsory health cover are most welcome to apply.

It may be possible to extend the commencement date for particularly 
suitable overseas applicants, but the application date is inflexible.

regards
Robert Mannell
