Applications are invited for the following scholarship leading to the degree of PhD in the School of Paediatrics and Reproductive Health. Field of Study: Recently, vitamin D has emerged as a micronutrient crticial to optimal pregnancy outcome. In women, vitamin D deficiency has been associated with complications of pregnancy including preeclampsia, intrauterine growth restriction, gestational diabetes and preterm birth.

This project will elucidate the molecular mechanisms by which Vitamin D deficiency affects placentation and pregnancy outcome. The PhD student will focus particularly on two mouse knockout models of vitamin D action, the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and the CYP278B1 gene knockouts to determine just what vitamin D does in the placenta.

Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, School of Social Sciences, Discipline of Gender, Work and Social Inquiry The Discipline of Gender, Work and Social Inquiry in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University of Adelaide is seeking a PhD student to conduct ethnographic work to investigate why people with eating disorders are reluctant to engage with treatment services. The scholarship is supported by an Australian Research Council Linkage Grant (APAI) and industry partners Flinders Medical Centre, SA Health and ACEDA (formerly the Eating Disorder Association of South Australia).
Field of Study: Why are people with eating disorders reluctant to engage with treatment services? This project will use ethnographic methods and psychological evaluations to investigate why people with eating disorders delay seeking help. Research to date has mainly focused on people who engage with treatment services, but we know nothing about the significant number of people who do not seek help, or delay seeking help for many years. This research will identify this group in order to understand their motivations for maintaining eating disorder practices, and find out what socio-cultural factors support eating disorder behaviours. It is anticipated that the project will develop new knowledge in understanding the complex cultural underpinnings of eating disorders and outcomes of this project will be used to develop effective early intervention strategies. The successful candidate will gain valuable transferable skills through research training, organisational understanding of government and non-government partners, and presenting to community, academic, policy and professional audiences. Eligibility: Applicants must have completed and been awarded an Australian Honours Degree or equivalent at the level of 2A or above in a relevant Discipline (Gender Studies, Anthropology or Sociology). Value: The scholarship will be for the period of three years and has a stipend of $32,000 per annum. The APAI is likely to be tax exempt, subject to Taxation Office approval. To Apply: Application for Admission must be submitted using the Online Application Form available at: https://hdrapp.adelaide.edu.au/auth/login Please email a summary of your application for admission to Dr Megan Warin megan.warin@adelaide.edu.au with 'Application for APAI' in the subject heading.

Nitrogen Use Efficiency Applications are invited for the following scholarship leading to the degree of PhD in Science. Four scholarships are available and will be supported by The University of Adelaide and The Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics. Field of Study: The PhD projects on offer aim to improve the nitrogen use efficiency of the cereal crop maize, by increasing the efficiency of mechanisms plants use to accumulate and utilise nitrogen. Projects will use the latest gene technology, biochemistry and plant physiological techniques to define nitrogen use efficiency traits, which will aid in the improvement of nitrogen use in maize and other cereal crops. The project involves a close collaboration with our Industrial Partner DuPont-Pioneer (Johnston, Iowa US). ACPFG offers professional development and a mentoring program for PhD students. Maize is an important global crop where approximately 818 million tonnes is produced annually. Maize provides an important staple of global agricultural food production where it is used for both animal and human consumption. The production of maize, like most cereal crops, is heavily dependent on the supply of nitrogen fertilisers to overcome inherent soil nitrogen deficiencies that limit growth and economic yields. Unfortunately, the use of nitrogen fertilisers by cereals is poor, where only 30-40% of the applied nitrogen is actually accessed and used by the plant. While plants need nitrogen to grow, the inefficient use of nitrogen in agriculture is a growing global concern as it impacts a direct cost to the grower but more importantly a larger indirect cost to the environment through increased nitrogen pollution. We seek motivated students with backgrounds in the following areas: agriculture; biology; biomeduical sciences; biotechnology; genetics; molecular biology; plant physiology; science. Further Information: Flyer Applications: Will be accepted through until December 2012. Applications to be emailed to Dr Monica Ogierman, ACPFG Education Manager and must include the following documents:

Australian Rotary Health is Australia's largest non-government funding body of mental illness research. We also fund research in other health related areas. The genesis of Australian Rotary Health in 1981 was the mystery of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). The Late Ian Scott, from the Rotary Club of Mornington, established Australian Rotary Health to support research into SIDS. As Australian Rotary Health grew so did the vision of medical research possibilities. Supported by Rotarians Australian wide, Australian Rotary Health was soon in a position to sponsor health research in areas that did not readily attract funding. Australian Rotary Health has a broad vision of health. We are a catalyst for projects that improve the quality of life for people who are least able to assist themselves.
