PhD Opportunities

We are looking for highly motivated, passionate and competitive candidates for 4-year fully funded PhD positions in the recently established ARC Centre for Cryo-electron Microscopy of Membrane Proteins. Successful candidates will join the Centre, which is a collaborative venture led by Monash University (Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Parkville campus) with The University of Melbourne (Bio21 Institute), University of Wollongong (Molecular Horizons) and the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute.

About the Positions

The successful applicants will be working in multidisciplinary research teams in the new ARC Industrial Transformation Training Centre for Cryo-electron Microscopy of Membrane Proteins (CCeMMP), where we are working with our partners to enhance the utility and application of cryo-EM to challenging membrane proteins that comprise the largest target class for therapeutic drug development.

The Centre provides advanced training in all aspects of membrane protein cryo-EM, including sample biochemistry, 3D image reconstruction, extraction of protein dynamics, and independent operation of 120kV, 200kV and 300kV instruments that are used for high-resolution structure determination. Our Doctoral Training Program will equip successful graduates with critical skills required for transformative use of cryo-EM for membrane protein drug discovery and development. The CCeMMP fosters close partnerships between our university-based researchers and industry-based research end-users to provide transformative research programs and innovative doctoral training. Projects may include combinations of structural cryo-EM, biochemistry, pharmacology, medicinal chemistry or related discipline.

The CCeMMP is supported by industry partners Thermo Fisher Scientific, Servier, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Dimerix Biosciences, Catalyst Therapeutics, Astex Pharmaceuticals, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi-Aventis, Genentech, BioCurate Pty Ltd, FB Rice Pty Ltd, and Clarivate Analytics Ltd.
