Using Sound to Monitor Wildlife
Automated monitoring is an important aspect of future approaches to biodiversity preservation. You could be at the forefront of this new wave of conservation… Read more
Behavioural adaptation to climate change in birds
It has been suggested that social species have evolved in harsh environmental conditions, allowing for successful reproduction and survival in environments where pairs alone cannot succeed. Read more
Impacts of disease (chytridiomycosis) and environmental contaminants on wildlife conservation (amphibians)
Wildlife are in peril due to numerous threatening processes. Amphibians (especially frogs) are the most endangered Class of Vertebrates. Read more
Cracking the code of snails to elucidate parasite disease transmission
Call for PhD students in Snail Taxonomy, Genomics, and Host:Parasite Interact ions. Want to help resolve the taxonomy of Australian freshwater snails and assess their ability to transmit parasites to Australian livestock?. Read more
Understanding the ecological and evolutionary effects of heatwaves in tropical species and ecological communities
Heatwaves are considered one of the most threatening processes for our plants and animal species as the Earth’s climate warms. There is much to understand about how our species and the ecological communities they form will change and adapt through heatwaves. Read more
Exploring brain functions in zebrafish
DECRA fellow Itia Favre-Bulle is interested in brain function at the level of neurons and the circuits that they form. Using the zebrafish model system, we employ optogenetics to observe tens of thousands of neurons simultaneously in the brains of live behaving animals. Read more
Neuroprotective benefit and safety of preterm neonatal sulfate supplementation.
Type of project. PhD Research Project. Funded PhD project (students worldwide). Applications accepted all year round. Supervisor. Read more
Oxidised cholesterols as Key Regulators of Host Immunity to Bacterial and Viral Respiratory Infections
Type of project. PhD Research Project. Funded PhD project (students worldwide). Applications accepted all year round. Supervisor. Read more
Discovery of Novel Nrf2 Activators from Australian Indigenous Plants
The Drug Discovery group within the School of Medicine at Western Sydney University has been actively involved in the discovery of novel antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents including Nrf2 activators (Singh A, Raju R, Münch G. Read more
Investigating neuronal oscillations and motor function in older adults
The PhD Scholarship “Investigating neuronal oscillations and motor function in older adults” is fully funded by the University of Adelaide to support a full-time PhD student who is commencing research in the field of Neuroscience. Read more
Determining the optimal mix of forestry systems and reserves under differing wildfire regimes for improving plant conservation
How to meet human needs for timber while limiting harm to biodiversity is an urgent scientific goal. The aim of this Australian Research Council funded PhD project are. Read more
Polymeric nanocomplex delivery of CRISPR to plant and fungal cells
About the project. This nanobiotechnology project aims to develop efficient nanoparticle biomolecule delivery systems for plant and fungal cells. Read more
Testing effect of environmental exposures on subsequent human generations
We are seeking a PhD candidate to join our research team in this exciting project funded by the Australian Research Council. The research group has conducted work within genetic epidemiology, focusing on pregnancy related exposures and outcomes. Read more
Genome to phenome: exploiting multi-omics and deep learning strategies to decipher the importance of isoforms in health and behaviour
Overview. The molecular process that leads to multiple mRNA transcripts being produced from the same segment of DNA (aka gene) is known as alternative splicing (AS). Read more
