Key Centre for Ethics, Law, Justice and Governance
PhD Scholarship: Pathways to Prevention Project
$25,000 per annum (for 3 years)

An exciting opportunity is available for an outstanding student to work fulltime on the Pathways to Prevention Project within the Key Centre for Ethics, Law, Justice and Governance at Griffith University. The Project operates within a developmental prevention and community development framework and since 2001 has been providing a range of early intervention activities that include school-based programs and family support initiatives.

The PhD project will focus on the longitudinal follow-up of a cohort of children and families who participated in the project between the years 2001-2003. Excellent research support will be provided for the successful
applicant, who is expected to have a good honours (minimum 2A) or equivalent in psychology, education, sociology, public health, criminology or another relevant discipline. Strong quantitative and statistical skills are required, as well as communication and organisational skills. A working knowledge of techniques for tracking members of mobile populations over time and experience working with schools and disadvantaged communities would be an advantage, as would experience in longitudinal research methods and in the management of complex, longitudinal data sets.

Applicants must be Australian citizens or permanent residents.  The PhD project will be supervised by Professor Ross Homel and other members of the project team. For more information contact Professor
Homel (email: R.Homel@griffith.edu.au ph: 07- 37355757) or Dr Kate Freiberg (email: K.Freiberg@griffith.edu.au ph: 07-37356909).

Applications close December 17, 2008.
