New Hybrid C-H Functionalisation and Photochemical Strategies for Chemical Synthesis
This project aims to develop new synthetic methods that deliver increased efficiency and precision in the synthesis of spirocyclic sp3-rich molecules. Read more
The Development of Improved Treatments for Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis
Germs such as bacteria develop the ability to overcome the medicines designed to kill them, which limits our ability to successfully treat bacterial infections and leads to millions of additional deaths worldwide each year. Read more
Wear of materials subjected to granular blasts
Wind turbines, solar panels, planes and cars are subjected to countless high velocity impacts from solid particles transported in the air. Read more
Mining the host-pathogen interface to deliver a drug pipeline for treating intractable and emerging infections
We are currently looking for a PhD candidate to join the One Health Laboratory of Infectious Disease at Griffith University, led by A/Prof Lara Herrero (MD, MPH, PhD). Read more
Experimental approaches to the evolution of anisogamy in a single celled alga
Research Group:
Centre for Evolutionary Biology
We are looking for a talented student to conduct their PhD on the evolutionary biology of anisogamy. Anisogamy is the difference in size between male and female gametes and is the driver of sexual selection and the evolution of the sexes. Read more
Choosing to persist: sexual section and conservation in the wild
Research Group:
Centre for Evolutionary Biology
The prevailing story of sexual selection, in which the sexes either compete for or choose the other sex, has been one of costly and detrimental extravagance. Read more
Development of RNA-loaded lipid nanomedicines for therapeutic and vaccines applications
Project - Recent mRNA vaccine success has heralded a new era of RNA nanomedicines. A few challenges remain to realise the full potential of RNA nanomedicines for therapeutic or therapeutic vaccine applications, including translation efficiency, targeted delivery and stability. Read more
Computational materials discovery for new room-temperature superconductors
A postgraduate research stipend scholarship to support PhD students in the field of computational materials discovery for new room-temperature superconductors. Read more
The George and Matilda Harris Scholarship (for law research students)
A postgraduate research scholarship for a stipend allowance for Master of Criminology (Research), Master of Laws (Research) or PhD students in the University of Sydney Law School. Read more
Glycan-based prebiotic approaches
We are currently looking for a PhD candidate to join our dynamic and interdisciplinary team at the Institute for Glycomics, Griffith University Gold Coast campus. Read more
Developing novel methods of kidney MRI acquisition and image analysis using artificial intelligence
Nephrons are the basic functional unit of the kidney, an organ with a central role in maintaining homeostasis in the body. The number of nephrons in the kidneys and their microstructure reflect the success of renal development and the trajectory of renal health through life. Read more
PhD scholarship opportunity: CMOS brain machine interface
The Biomedical Microsystems Lab at the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering, University of New South Wales, is a multidisciplinary team of senior researchers, postdoctoral fellows and students. Read more
Characterizing Photovoltaic Passivating Contacts Via Nonlinear Optical Metrology
The School of Photovoltaic & Renewable Energy Engineering (SPREE) within the UNSW Faculty of Engineering has been at the leading edge of global solar cell development for over 30 years, reporting many world record solar cell efficiencies. Read more
Building Stability into RNA Lipid Nanoparticle Therapeutics and Vaccines
Project - Recent mRNA vaccines have highlighted stability issues with RNA lipid nanoparticle products requiring ultra-low temperature storage. Read more
Last chance to apply
Harvey Coates: Middle-ear infection vaccine development
Development of a new vaccine to prevent middle-ear infection in Australian indigenous children. Australian Indigenous children suffer chronic middle ear infection at amongst the highest rates in the developed world. Read more
