*apologies for cross-posting
Please contact Jennifer MacRitchie (j.macritchie@westernsydney.edu.au) for an informal discussion to help develop a proposal. Deadline for applications is 31st March 2019.
Western Sydney University is offering a 3-year research scholarship to a highly motivated PhD candidate to work within an interdisciplinary research group addressing the efficacy and function of various components of music learning and performance in sustaining cognitive skills throughout different stages of cognitive impairment. This project will identify 'how' music learning can be an effective intervention for this population, and to what extent for whom.
Applicants are welcome to devise a proposal using methodologies across any area of psychology, health and music as long as it investigates a form of musical intervention with cognitive impairment in older adults.
The project will be based at the MARCS Institute for Brain, Behaviour and Development (Dr Jennifer MacRitchie and Dr Sandra Garrido),with strong links to NICM and the School of Science and Health (Prof Caroline Smith and Dr Genevieve Steiner).
