Developing novel materials for slow and zero-order release of insect pest attractants
Do you want to develop innovative solutions for horticultural pest control areas? We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate in materials chemistry to join our project on developing novel materials for slow and zero-order release of insect pest attractants. Read more
Developing new mathematical models of biological tissue mechanics
We are seeking a PhD student to work in mathematical biology with Associate Professor Pascal R. Buenzli and Professor Matthew J. Simpson on a project developing new mathematical models of biological tissue mechanics. Read more
A microfabricated "brain tumour on a chip" for radiobiological studies
A PhD student scholarship aimed at the development of a comprehensive in vitro tumour model is available at the Adelaide University’s Bioengineering group. Read more
Sensory and bioengineering approaches to predict hearing abilities in fish
This project aims to understand the factors responsible for the extraordinary diversity in the shape and size of fish ears and why some fishes are more sensitive to sound than others, which is poorly understood. Read more
Modular DNA nanopores for synthetic biology
The aim of this project is to develop artificial cells that can programmably communicate. In biology, cells are miniature factories where different compartments handle specific tasks. Read more
Light-activated DNA nanomachinery
DNA is an ideal material for building nanomachinery. it is responsive to stimuli, biocompatible, and can be programmed to assemble into structures of specific sizes and shapes. Read more
Improving Shiftworkers' Sleep and Physical Activity Using Machine Learning
Summary. We are offering an exciting PhD opportunity to investigate innovative solutions for shiftworkers' sleep and physical activity challenges using machine learning (note that AI/ML experience is not a requirement). Read more
