1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Marine Neurotoxin

Summary of PhD Program:

This project aims to characterise the genetic basis for the production of tetrodotoxin; a potent neurotoxin of ecological and biomedical significance. We hypothesise that tetrodotoxin is produced by microorganisms and transferred via the food web to pufferfish (Fugu), the blue-ringed octopus, and other marine animals. Our integrated genomic and synthetic biology approach, targeting key biosynthesis genes, will reveal pathways for the production of tetrodotoxin and other potentially valuable compounds. In addition to providing unprecedented insight into the ecology and biosynthesis of this enigmatic toxin, the data generated will enable improved management of seafood safety and provide a foundation for the future development of novel neuroactive compounds.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Therapeutic Stress and Regulation of DNA Methylation in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia

Summary of PhD Program:

Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a devastating disease that claims 1000 Australian lives annually. Although standard chemotherapies can achieve remission in about 2/3 of patients, only about 1/4 of patients survive more than 5 years after their diagnosis. The poor prognosis for AML is due to disease relapse, which occurs in most patients and frequently within 2 years of achieving remission. To prevent relapse, we need a greater understanding of the adaptive processes that allow AML cells to evade treatment, as well as new strategies to target these mechanisms.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Valorised Food Applications of Oatmilk Byproducts

Summary of PhD Program:

Improved utilisation of waste or low-value by-product streams represents one important in tackling the compounding problems of food waste.

Okara is the bean pulp filtered as a slurry byproduct generated in the manufacture of soymilk and tofu. For every kg of dry soybeans used in the manufacture of these products, the okara byproduct constitutes 340 grams (dry weight).

Both flotation and oil agglomeration possess major disadvantages especially regarding the size of the particles that are able to be captured. Small particles trend to follow the fluid streamlines and they are deviated from both bubbles and droplets. In these cases, in order to be able to capture ultrafine particles, the hydrophobic force needs to be strong enough to overcome the hydrodynamic resistance force and, possibly, the presence of an electrical double layer repulsion.

16. Fully Funded PhD Position in Smooth Particle Hydrodynamic Modelling of Moisture Migration under Oscillatory Type Motions

Summary of PhD Program:

The inherent moisture within the mined particulates is not static during material storage, transportation and handling. Moisture is constantly migrating under the influence of the external motions. This is particularly evident for product conveyors, trucks, trains and ships carrying the mined particulates. In this research, numerical modelling will be developed in parallel with the development of unique characterisation techniques. This will be achieved through combining smooth particle hydrodynamics (SPH) approach which defines the liquid phase with discrete element modelling (DEM) simulations which define the particulate volumes. Subsequent innovative dewatering solutions will be derived from advancing moisture migration knowledge.

Prof. Olivier Buzzi and Dr. Jubert Pineda (from the Priority Research Centre for Geotechnical Science and Engineering of the University of Newcastle, Australia), Prof. Mark Jaksa (University of Adelaide, Australia) and A/Prof Marti Lloret Cabot (Durham University, UK), are seeking two highly motivated students to undertake PhD research on the volumetric response of unsaturated expansive soils (PhD topic 1) and the shear strength of expansive soils (PhD topic 2). Such soils cause billions of structural damage every year worldwide, including in France and Australia, and remain a challenge for researchers and geotechnical practitioners.
