Queensland University of Technology (Brisbane, Australia) has a number of positions and competitive scholarships available to investigate the physiological and cognitive responses of individuals wearing bomb suits and chemical protective clothing. The project will bring together exercise physiologists, dietitians and motor control specialists in a multi-disciplinary approach to addressing heat strain and recovery.
The research is being funded bilaterally by the Dept of Defense (USA) and the Prime Minister and Cabinet's Office (Aust). The positions are located within the School of Human Movement Studies and the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation (IHBI) and thus the successful applicants will hold membership of the Institute for the duration of the project. The facilities of the School and IHBI comprise state-of-the-art exercise and environmental laboratories. Postdoctoral position The postdoctoral position applicant should have experience in a range of exercise and thermal physiology assessment techniques and some experience in cognitive measurements would be desirable. The job description and application process for this position is available at the following web-link. https://qut.nga.net.au/cp/index.cfm?event=jobs.listJobs&jobListid=1ad2dcdd-b614-6387-c683-52af99b625ee PhD scholarships PhD scholarship applicants should demonstrate a high level of academic achievement to date, suitable for enrolment in a PhD. Areas of potential study include exercise/thermal physiology, recovery both from a nutritional and physiological aspect, and the influence of heat strain on cognitive performance. Applicants will be required to submit full Curriculum Vitae (including academic transcripts and any supporting documents) to i.stew...@qut.edu.au<mailto:i.stew...@qut.edu.au>. Short-listed applicants will be required to attend an interview with the supervisors. Applications for this scholarship close on the 30th November 2011.
