Flinders University has three PhD positions available to support the Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Alertness, Safety and Productivity.

The CRC aims broadly to improve alertness and productivity for all Australians. These PhD positions will specifically provide support for the Sleep Disorders Phenotyping Platform, which will examine ways of improving diagnosis and treatment for insomnia and obstructive sleep
apnea (OSA).

This project will develop, test and refine simple, clinically deployable sleep disorder phenotyping toolkits, firstly to establish individual patient trait vulnerability to sleepiness/alertness failure, and secondly to establish deeper disorder specific phenotyping methods for identifying underlying causal mechanisms of insomnia and OSA.
