This PhD project explores sustained treatment effects in irritable bowel syndrome, a common disorder of gut-brain interaction. The candidate will contribute to a large, international, randomised controlled trial using an internet-based treatment (dietary or behavioural therapy). The project will use a mixed-methods approach to investigate long-term symptom outcomes, gut microbiome dynamics, and participant experiences. Based within a multidisciplinary team, this project aims to inform personalised, scalable approaches to IBS care.
What we’re looking for:
• Undergraduate degree with Honours and/or Master’s degree in human nutrition, dietetics, psychology or gastroenterology, or a related field, with a research component (e.g. thesis/dissertation) and strong academic track record;
• Demonstrated experience in research writing, a publication record is desirable (particularly for scholarship competitiveness);
• Proficiency in oral and written English, applicants may need to meet University of Melbourne language requirements;
• Experience in clinical trials or applied health research, particularly in gastrointestinal or psychological domains;
• Interest in disorders of gut-brain interaction, microbiome science, or digital interventions;
• Skills in mixed-methods research and/or statistical modelling.
What we offer:
• Opportunity to work across the Faculty of Science and Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences at University of Melbourne
• Support to apply for a fully funded PhD scholarship (stipend + fee offset, 3.5 years) through the University of Melbourne graduate research program ( https://lnkd.in/gHwuACf7 )
