Australian Postgraduate Award (Industry) on biotech applications and structural studies of fungal hydrophobin proteins

This scholarship will provide support for up to 3 years for a research project leading to a PhD; the objective of the research project is to undertake biophysical, structural and functional studies on fungal hydrophobin proteins with the aim of developing hydrophobin‑based products for biotech, pharmaceutical and industrial applications; applicants should have a HI degree in biochemistry, protein chemistry, molecular biology or biotechnology; applicants must be Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents or NZ citizens; $25,627 p.a. 

Closing Date:  18 April 2008

 

 

PhD – Assessing risks with pig movement in Eastern Indonesia

This PhD project, focusing on the critical TAD of pigs in Eastern Indonesia - classical swine fever (CSF) - will strengthen capacity for effective disease control by identifying pig trade patterns that are high risk for CSF transmission in Nusa Tenggara Timor (NTT); a PhD scholarship valued at $25,000 pa is available for an Australian citizen or permanent resident enrolled full-time for up to 3 years to participate in this project. 

Closing Date:  29 August 2008

 

 

Postgraduate Scholarship on High- Efficient Power Electronics Circuits Design

This scholarship will provide support for a research project leading to a Masters (up to 2 years) or a PhD (up to 3 years); the objective of the research project is to analysis, design and experiment a new family of high- efficient power electronics circuits for future practical use; applicants should have an H1 or 2A degree in electrical engineering or electronic engineering; $20,007- $21,000 pa; international students can apply but the scholarship does not cover any tuition fees payable by international students. 

Closing Date:  21 July 2008

 

 


Postgraduate Scholarship in Bioinorganic Chemistry of Chromium Dietary Supplements


This scholarship will provide support for up to 3 years for a research project leading to a PhD; this project will use microprobe and X-ray absorption spectroscopic techniques, mass spectrometry, electronic absorption and EPR spectroscopies and biochemical assays to study bioinorganic chemistry of chromium dietary supplements; applicants should have a BSc(Hons) degree or equivalent with at least a H2(1) Honours in chemistry or a related discipline; $20,007 pa.
