A next-generation genetic technology to identify biotechnologically-valuable enzymes and transporters
Project Description The Synthetic Physiology Laboratory at Flinders University (Adelaide, Australia) is advertising a full-time funded PhD project. The laboratory applies bioengineering/synthetic biology to understand and ultimately treat human disease. Further information about the Synthetic Physiology laboratory can be found on this website: http://www.janovjak-lab.com/ and http://researchnow.flinders.edu.au/en/persons/harald-janovjak. In this project the laboratory aims to develop a next-generation […]
Development of fluorescent organic molecules for application in super-resolution imaging techniques
Project Description We are looking for a highly motivated, passionate and competitive candidate for a fully-funded PhD position in fluorescent sensing and chemical biology. The successful candidate will join an international team working in the areas of high interest for chemical sensors and super-resolution imaging. This position is based at the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical […]
Atomic Layer Deposition of Novel Nanolayer Materials for Solar Cells
Project Description Solar photovoltaics (PV) has emerged as THE breakthrough technology which will underpin the coming clean energy transition and allow us to address the epochal challenge of climate change. Solar PV is now expected to account for more global installed capacity than any other energy source by as early as the end of the […]

Ubiquitin-dependent signalling pathways in ageing
Project Description Unravelling the molecular and cellular mechanisms of ageing to improve human health across the whole lifespan is a central aim of biomedical research. Ageing is characterised by a general functional decline of cells with increased risk of disease. The major aim of our research is to identify the molecular mechanisms and signalling events […]
Discovery of solid state electrolytes using Deep Learning
Project Description This opportunity will remain open until filled and so early applications are encouraged. In the quest towards safer and higher capacity batteries to enable electrification and a net zero society, the development of an all-solid-state battery is a top priority, and is currently limited by the lack of a high-performance material to serve […]
Speciation in facultatively sexual species
Project Description Biologists have long been fascinated with the origin and maintenance of the diversity of life. What determines how new species are created and maintained? Speciation is the evolution of barriers to interbreeding between groups; it can start when certain populations within a group become adapted to different environments, but for speciation to complete, […]
Physical Layer Algorithm Design in 6G Non-Terrestrial Communications
Project Description Applications are invited to apply for two full 3-year PhD Studentship in 6G especially on Non Terrestrial Communications (NTN). The role will include both theoretical and applied research in the well-equipped 6GIC/ICS at University of Surrey, UK. Future wireless communication networks are expected to provide a much more satisfying service to people by […]
Energy dissipation in human soft tissue during impacts
Project Description Full-time: 3 years Part-time: 6 years Start date: July 2022 When people get hit or hit things, including locomotion, the transient forces involved are normally high and produce mechanical shocks when compared to active muscularly directed human motion. As well as changes in surface shape and inertial properties of limbs this also leads […]
Exploring the impact of microplastic-bacterial complexes on animal health and the gut microbiome
Project Description Plastic pollution is a global issue and rapidly emerging as a crisis for both environmental and human health. Exposure to microplastics (MPs) impacts every level of the food chain with MP ingestion causing alteration of feeding activity, decreased food assimilation, stunted animal growth with negative impacts on fertility and reproduction. Perturbation of the […]
