Applications are currently being sought for a new combined PhD/RANZCR program being launched in 2013. Developed by The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Radiologists (RANZCR) and The University of Sydney, the program is designed to encourage and support trainees who have a strong interest in both clinical research and practice. This is an exciting opportunity for the right applicant who will be known as a “Dean’s Fellow” and will benefit from both the skills and expertise of leading clinicians, and the knowledge and experience of career academics who will support the applicant’s academic development.

Commencing in 2013, the successful applicant will spend 3 years working towards a PhD in the Discipline of Radiology at The University of Sydney. Research topics will be determined jointly by the candidate, supervisor, Chief Censor in Radiodiagnosis and the Radiology Research Committee.

• Application for a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) scholarship

• Peer-reviewed publication during the PhD.

The successful candidate will be provided with a generous scholarship for the first year of the program with funding for completion of the program anticipated to be secured through a NHMRC scholarship.
