The theory of non-equilibrium information processing in molecular systems
We invite applications for a 4-year PhD studentship on the theory of non-equilibrium information processing in molecular systems, with a start date of October 2025. Read more
Synthetic Genomics in Gut Bacteria
The Robertson lab develops genome engineering tools for the de novo synthesis of non-model gut bacteria, with the ultimate aim of reprogramming the microbiome to study and modulate human health. Read more
RNA-catalyzed RNA synthesis and replication
A critical event in the origin of life is thought to have been the emergence of an RNA molecule capable of self-replication as well as mutation, and hence evolution towards ever more efficient replication. Read more
Exploring the interplay between ageing, gut microbiome, and neurodegenerative diseases
Project Overview. Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease represent major health risks in ageing societies. Read more
Investigating lysosomal (dys)function in ageing and neurodegeneration
Project Overview. Ageing is associated with a decline in the functions of an organism (López-Otín, C. et al. Cell, 2023) and correlates with an increased risk of developing diseases in the later life (Niccoli, T. Read more
Targeting the sweet tooth to curb population-wide sugar intake
Excess intake of dietary sugars are a major contributor to obesity, and type 2 diabetes and 82% of people state that taste is the major determinant of what they buy and eat. Read more
Behavioural adaptation to environmental change in birds and the implications for conservation
Contact. Dr Lyanne Brouwer. Lyanne.brouwer@jcu.edu.au. College of Science & Engineering. James Cook University, Townsville QLD 4811 Australia. Read more
Flower power: Evolutionary and applied genomics of flower colour variation in Anigozanthos
Applied BioSciences at Macquarie University is offering a research scholarship to a highly motivated PhD candidate to study the ecological and evolutionary genomics of flower colour on the iconic Australian plants known as kangaroo paws (Anigozanthos). Read more
Trusted AI for Diabetes personalised self-management systems
Diabetes mellitus is a common cause of morbidity and mortality across the globe. Type 2 diabetes continues to rise in prevalence annually; from 1980 to 2004, Type 2 quadrupled in both prevalence and incidence [1]. This will be exacerbated further by the increase in obesity. Read more
OMV-I: Investigating spatio-temporal dynamics of Oat Mosaic Virus (OMV) in Irish tillage systems
Oats is an essential cereal crop for the Irish tillage sector, providing an important break in rotations while delivering an important economic return into an expanding marketplace. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Mechanics of multifactorial stress responses in plants – How do abiotic stress signals integrate with pathogen immunity?
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline. Plants have the innate ability to respond to pathogens together with multiple abiotic stress challenges, but such responses often come at a cost to plant productivity and water use. Read more
PhD Opportunity - Synthetic biology for enhancing crop water use efficiency
'TO APPLY, PLEASE CLICK INSTITUTION WEBSITE'. Outline & aim. Stomata are pores that provide for gaseous exchange across the impermeable cuticle of leaves. Read more
MAPK signalling pathways regulating the blood brain barrier
Research Group:
Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
We invite applications for a 3-year PhD project to investigate cellular signalling regulating the function of the blood brain barrier. Read more
Revealing the correlation between physiology and physical chemistry of microcalcification in connective tissue using AI supported tissue characterization.
Research Group:
Healthcare Engineering
A fundamental component of human body is connective tissue which serves various structural and supportive functions including skin integrity, abdominal wall enforcement and bone formation. Read more
Optimising dynamic scheduling in smart manufacturing through reinforcement learning PhD
This PhD aims to develop an adaptive self-organising solution for dynamic scheduling in job-shop manufacturing. The research will introduce an innovative approach that integrates deep reinforcement learning and multi-agent systems to rapidly respond to emergencies and disruptions. Read more
