We welcome applications for a scholarship at Australian Postgraduate Award (APA) award rates to undertake a PhD at Monash University to work on a project that will investigate the methodological aspects of accelerated failure time models as applied in specific clinical trial design and analysis contexts. It is anticipated that the work will encourage clinical acceptance of these models as an alternative to the commonly used Cox proportional hazards model. The project will be collaborative with supervisors Prof Rory Wolfe and A/Prof Stephane Heritier in the Biostatistics Unit and clinical colleagues at Monash University and affiliated hospitals. You will be closely linked in with other biostatistical researchers and biostatistics PhD students at ViCBiostat (http://www.vicbiostat.org.au/).

Students should have a Bachelors or Masters degree in a field of statistics. Applicants will be asked to apply for an Australian Postgraduate Award through Monash University and those successful will be offered a generous top-up to that scholarship.

For further information or to express interest please contact Rory Wolfe.

To lodge an application please email an up-to-date CV and your academic transcripts to: Rory.Wolfe@monash.edu
