France (MSME UPEC) and Australia (QUT) are offering a joint PhD position in cotutelle on the following topic : Integrating Four-Dimensional Synchrotron Imaging and Computational Modeling. The project is a collaboration between Queensland University of Technology (QUT, Australia), University of Saskatchewan (USASK, Canada) and University of Paris Est (UPEC, France) and aims to better understand how cortical bone is affected by osteoporosis and drug treatments.

The student who will receive the scholarship will work on the development of “A novel platform for investigating osteoporosis treatment: integrating 4D synchrotron imaging and computational modeling” and will spend a minimum of 2 years at QUT and a minimum of 1 year at UPEC.

 The stipend offered for this 3-year scholarship (with possible extension for 6 months if required) will be at the APA rate of $28,870 p.a. Both Australian and international applicants are welcome to apply. However, this scholarship does not cover university tuition fees for international students, and international students may need to apply for a tuition fee scholarship at QUT, if successful in winning the scholarship.
