Dear Colleagues,

Dr Haxby Abbott, Senior Research Fellow for Clinical Research Development at the Centre for Physiotherapy Research, was recently awarded funding from the New Zealand Health Research Council for a 3-year research project investigating physiotherapy interventions for osteoarthritis, as well as a feasibility study for an economic analysis of the same intervention programme.  This funding includes a number of scholarships for Masters and PhD students.  We are now seeking high-quality candidates to take up these scholarships here at the University of Otago to work on this research programme (see attached flyer).  We would be grateful if you could post this flyer on notice-boards and pass it on to anybody who may be interested. 

Any questions or enquiries about the application process can be directed to Emma Tumilty.

Questions or enquiries regarding what the trial involves and any other queries can be directed to Dr Abbott.

With kind regards,
