RESEARCH POSITIONS AVAILABLE
Scholarship for PhD student. (posted 12/04/10)
Nanoparticles loaded with Platinum drugs for cancer treatment
Scholarship Description
A post-graduate scholarship is available at the St.George Hospital (Dr Paul de Souza) in the UNSW School of Medicine in collaboration with the Centre for Advanced Macromolecular Design (CAMD) (A/Prof Martina Stenzel) in the Faculty of Engineering. We are seeking an enthusiastic PhD candidate with either a medical, biomedical or another equivalent science background to work on the biological evaluation of the nanoparticles prepared at CAMD. The nanoparticles are loaded with Pt drugs and the main focus of the work is the investigation of the effect of these particles on different cancer cell lines. Aim will be the delivery of these nanoparticles to specific malignant cells. The student will work in a highly multi-disciplinary team of polymer chemist, biochemist and medical scientists.
Availability
This scholarship is offered once only to one person with either Australian or New Zealand residency or Permanent residency
Payment Information
This award is to be used for living expenses. This scholarship is paid fortnightly for the period of 3 years, reviewed annually. An extension of 6 months is possible. The student is awarded an APA, which is currently $22,500 per year
Research Information
The PhD student will work at the interface between ENGINEERING and MEDICINE
Eligibility
Honours 1 or Honours 1 equivalency and Australian or New Zealand residency or Permanent residency. Students with second class honours, but some research experience are encouraged to apply

Scholarship for PhD student. (posted 07/01/10)
A PhD position is available in Centre for Advanced Macromolecular Design (CAMD, University of New South Wales, Sydney) for a motivated student who wants to work on the synthesis of new “smart” hybrid inorganic/organic nanomaterials for nanomedicine applications. These applications include:
- biological imaging agents
- sensing/ diagnostic platforms
- drug delivery systems
- gene knock down
The candidate should ideally possess a 1st class Honours level degree with research experience in polymer synthesis, polymer physics or the testing of nanomaterials in biological systems. However holders of high level 2nd class Honours or Masters degrees, with relevant experience, are encouraged to apply.
The candidate will work in a world class research facility carrying out innovative research at the interface of chemistry, physico-chemistry and biological areas for the design of novel nanomaterials for applications in medicine. This research program will result in high impact research papers.
For further information, the candidate can contact:
