Description
Postgraduate scholarship is available for a suitably qualified candidate with a good Honours degree in a social or health science discipline to undertake research studies leading to a PhD in occupational health. This scholarship is funded by an ARC Linkage Projects grant and will provide support for three years on a full-time basis. The project will identify OHS risks and hazards in homecare work. The PhD student’s research will examine OHS risks and hazards in one type of homecare work – youth services. Their research will contribute to the development of interventions to secure healthier, safer and more sustainable workplaces for homecare workers.
The scholarship is valued at $27,222 per annum (tax exempt) and may be renewed for up to three years, subject to satisfactory progress.
