Studying the effects of early life stress on anxiety and neural stress circuits.
This project will investigate how exposure to stress during early postnatal development leads to changes in neural circuits in the brain which control stress responses as well as associated anxiety behaviours. Read more
Development of a hand-held electrochemical biosensor for the detection of animal oestrogens in the environment
PhD position at the University of Canterbury, New Zealand. Position description. Read more
The overlooked X and Y factor in osteoarthritis development
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of physical disability in adults worldwide. With no disease-modifying drugs to treat OA, patients typically suffer the pain and disability of disease for almost half their adult life. Read more
Using optical coherence tomography and vibrometry to understand hearing in crustaceans
Crustaceans use sound for many different life history strategies. Over the last decade many different crustaceans, such as paddle crabs and lobsters, have been described to produce sounds. Read more
Bird Blood Biochemistry! This study will explore metabolic pathways in bird red blood cells in the contexts of understanding oxidative stress and novel pest control systems.
Unlike mammals, other vertebrates such as birds have nuclei and mitochondria within their red blood cells, RBCs. The loss of RBC mitochondria in mammals may save oxygen, and / or decrease RBC size to improve oxygen delivery. Read more
Funded PhD position in microbial cooperation, physiology and toxic cyanobacterial evolution (University of Auckland and Cawthron Institute)
Project overview. Funded PhD position to research gene loss and cooperation among cyanobacterial populations, and evaluate the effect of toxins on interactions between toxin and non-toxin producing species. Read more
A complex systems approach to understanding the evolution of animal mating systems
Understanding the drivers of diverse animal mating systems remains a key challenge in evolutionary biology. In particular, monogyny, where males mate with a single female during their lifetime, remains an evolutionary puzzle because male animals typically maximise reproductive success by mating with multiple females.

Decay resistance of naturally durable eucalyptus timber
Some timbers are remarkably resistant against decay and therefore highly priced. These naturally durable timbers are rare and often sourced unsustainably from tropical forests. Read more
Fungal project: Biosynthetic pathway discovery and characterization
The Ferrier Institute has established a world-class reputation in nature-inspired synthetic carbohydrate chemistry and analysis and has extended its expertise into the areas of synthetic and chemical biology, chemical immunology, and natural product isolation. Read more
