Do you have a Master’s degree and are looking for fully funded PhD opportunities? University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia is now accepting applications for several funded PhD programs across a range of research areas.
1. Fully Funded PhD in Molecular genetics of plant development
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The research in my lab is in two main areas (1) Identification of genes involved in shoot meristem function and leaf development by isolation and characterization of mutations disrupting these processes (2) Analysis of molecular mechanisms on how genes control development. Research project opportunities in these broad areas exist for PhD and Honours students. Depending on the specific research project, students will have an opportunity to gain practical and theoretical experience in molecular biology, genetics, gene expression analysis and developmental biology.

2. Fully Funded PhD in ‘Productive Ageing’ – Ageing and productivity in the workforce
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The global significance of ageing well and ageing productively has been brought back to the forefront by three major worldwide trends. First, the demographic trend of people living longer, healthier lives, will mean greater proportions of healthy individuals living well into their 70s, 80s, and 90s. Second, there is an economic impetus with many governments and policy makers implementing strategies aimed at encouraging older people to remain healthy and productive for longer to minimise dependence in strictly economic terms. Third, there is a social/cultural trend with many older people showing less inclination to retire in the more traditional sense from career work to near-total leisure, and choosing to (if possible) remain active participants in society and continue their engagement in productive activities.

3. Fully Funded PhD in Interdisciplinary sleep health research
Summary of Funded PhD Program
A PhD scholarship for research towards a higher degree commencing 2010 at The University of Sydney. The scholarship will be administered through the Research Office of The University of Sydney. It is expected that scholarship holders will apply for NHMRC or other scholarships during the first year of tenure of the CCRE scholarship.

4. Fully Funded PhD in The interaction of chronic kidney disease and cancer
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is an important health problem, with increasing prevalence as the population ages. End stage kidney disease requires treatment with dialysis or transplantation, both associated with considerable morbidity and health costs, and people with ESKD have reduced life expectancy. Chronic diseases are often not independent of each other. ESKD is associated with increased risk of cancer at most sites. A major cause of ESKD is diabetic nephropathy, and post transplant immunosuppression is associated with increased risk of new onset diabetes. CKD is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

5. Fully Funded PhD in osteoarthritis
Summary of Funded PhD Program
In his current work Professor Hunter is investigating a number of key elements in osteoarthritis including (but not limited to) the epidemiology of osteoarthritis, genetic epidemiology of osteoarthritis, the role of biomarkers in understanding OA aetiopathogenesis, the application of imaging to better understand structure and function with application to both epidemiologic research and clinical trials, the application of novel therapies in disease management and health service system delivery of chronic disease management.

6. Fully Funded PhD in Drug Discovery and Medicinal Chemistry for the Central Nervous System
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The Drug Discovery Research Unit is located at the Brain and Mind Research Institute and the School of Chemistry at the University of Sydney. Research is interdisciplinary and built around the key themes of medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. In this domain understanding drug-protein and drug-binding site interactions is a key component which allows us to obtain structure-activity relationships of bioactive CNS molecules and therefore the rational design of more efficacious treatments for diseases of the brain We have an extensive medicinal chemistry program evaluating structure-activity relationships of a number of molecules varying from polycyclic to heterocyclic scaffolds that interact with specific targets we think are involved in brain disease.

7. Fully Funded PhD in Emerging parasitic disease: epidemiological, diagnostic and experimental approach
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The project Emerging parasitic disease: epidemiological, diagnostic and experimental approach will focus on development and elucidation of the epidemiology of newly or neglected disease in veterinary parasitology including (i) haemo- / tissue- parasites (Atoxoplasma, Babesia) and (ii) gastrointestinal parasites (Giardia, Cryptosporidium, Tritrichomonas). This project aims to elucidate the molecular identity and relationships between different isolates using PCR diagnostic techniques using rDNA and protein coding genes. On the other hand, this study will deliver and validate the PCR diagnostic protocol for epidemiological studies and elucidating the biology of these organisms.

8. Fully Funded PhD in Molecular investigations of receptors involved in neurological disorders
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The Laboratory of Molecular Neuroscience is located at the Brain and Mind Research Institute (BMRI) in the Camperdown health research precinct. We investigate molecular and biochemical aspects of neural receptors in health and disease. In collaboration with The Ramaciotti Imaging Centre at BMRI we study the interaction between novel biomarkers (drugs and imaging probes) and neuroreceptors using classical molecular biology and protein chemistry approaches coupled with non-invasive imaging technologies that will improve our understanding of disease.

9. Fully Funded PhD in Amino acid sensing mechanisms in human biology
Summary of Funded PhD Program
We are funded by the National Health and Medical Research Council to study the mechanisms by which amino acid sensing receptors control hormone secretion, appetite and satiety, and cell fate. This offers opportunities for PhD topics in the following areas: determining how protein regulates calcium metabolism, determining how protein regulates body weight via satiety hormones e.g., cholecystokinin, determining how amino acid sensing mechanisms can be used to control cancer.

10. Fully Funded PhD in Medicine use in children with asthma
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This project will use a staged approach. A qualitative phase of the study will involve interviewing parents and carers of children with asthma to explore their perceptions and actual use of asthma medications. The results of this phase will be used to develop a quantitative questionnaire on children’s asthma medication use. This phase of the study will be conducted on a larger scale. The results of this project will be used to develop educational interventions targeted at consumers as well as health care practitioners to facilitate quality use of medicines in children with asthma.

11. Fully Funded PhD
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Professor Newson’s research focuses on the ethical aspects of genetic, genomic and reproductive technologies in human beings; for example the ethics of prenatal screening and testing; newborn screening; population genetic screening and testing; genetic testing in children and those lacking capacity; ethics and genomic data sharing; ethics and human reproduction (e.g. ethics and assisted reproductive technologies, ethics in pregnancy and birth). She has gained substantial research funding and published widely on these topics
