The Mymobility Scholarship is funded by Zimmer Biomet to support a full-time PhD student who is commencing research in orthopaedics and patient monitoring. Mymobility was developed by Zimmer Biomet to empower clinicians and patients to better understand physical function following total knee and hip replacement. We are seeking a motivated student with demonstrated experience or interest in research to investigate the acceptability of Mymobility as a digital rehabilitation tool and then subsequently investigate the healthcare costs across public and private hospitals in Australia.
Eligibility:
We welcome applicants from around the world, this includes Australian and New Zealand citizens and permanent residents, and international scholars who meet eligibility criteria as candidates for a PhD degree at the University of Adelaide. Applicants should have a background in health or medical sciences, with an understanding of variations in the healthcare system across Australia. The ideal candidate should have some knowledge of health economics, but this is not a requirement as training will be available throughout the PhD program.

The scholarship will be for 3.5 years and has a stipend of $35,300 (indexed annually) per annum.
