About the Project

The successful applicant will adopt an interdisciplinary approach to investigate psychophysiological factors related to the health of exercising females with low energy availability. Applicants with a good honours degree in sport and exercise science, psychology or related areas are welcomed. A strong understanding of psychophysiological research methods and experience of psychological, physiological or psychophysiological research is desirable.
