Postgraduate Research Scholarship in Ecological Assessment of Motivational Disturbances in Dementia

This scholarship provides financial assistance to research students who are undertaking research in the development of ecological assessment of motivation and its disturbances in dementia. The research focuses on cognitive neuroscience of younger-onset dementia, with emphasis on development of novel tools to assess motivational disturbances. Successful candidates will apply novel approaches to better characterise motivational impairments in an ecologically valid manner. The scholarship is co-funded by National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) through the Investigator Grant Leadership scheme and the School of Psychology, Faculty of Science at the University of Sydney. Recipients must conduct research within the School of Psychology and work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team.
