This PhD scholarship at the University of Sydney supports research in radiation biophysics simulations, specifically targeting the development and improvement of radiopharmaceuticals as part of the Australian Research Council (ARC) Research Hub for Advanced Manufacture of Targeted Radiopharmaceuticals (AMTAR). The scholarship is co-funded by Professor Zdenka Kuncic and the ARC’s Industrial Transformation Research Hubs (ITRH) for the project ‘Chelators and methods for improved radiopharmaceuticals performance, manufacture, and use (ARC AMTAR Hub)’. The successful candidate will join the School of Physics, Faculty of Science, and contribute to cutting-edge research in simulation methods relevant to radiopharmaceuticals, which are crucial for medical diagnostics and therapy. The scholarship provides a generous stipend at the USYD RTP rate, currently $41,753 AUD per annum for up to 3.5 years, supporting full-time study. Applicants must be domestic students and have an unconditional offer of admission to the PhD program. Eligibility requires an Honours degree (First Class or Second Class Upper) or a master’s degree with a substantial research component, or equivalent in a related field. The research will be closely aligned with the ARC AMTAR Research Hub’s objectives, focusing on advanced manufacturing and performance improvement of radiopharmaceuticals through biophysics simulations. The application deadline is November 4, 2025. Interested candidates should apply for admission to the PhD program and ensure they meet all eligibility criteria before submitting their scholarship application.

This Postgraduate Research Scholarship in Applied Behavioural Ecology at the University of Sydney is designed to support a student undertaking a Master’s by research within the School of Life & Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Science. The research project centers on testing the effectiveness of associational plant refuges, created by unpalatable plants or their odours, in protecting tree seedlings from browsing damage caused by mammalian herbivores. The successful candidate will contribute to a larger initiative in collaboration with the forestry industry, aiming to develop innovative strategies to reduce browsing damage and enhance productivity in forestry plantations. The scholarship is co-funded by bequest funds from Patrick Desmond Fitzgerald Murray and research funds from the Commonwealth of Australia, represented by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry, for the project ‘Odour misinformation: a new way to reduce vertebrate pest damage to plantation seedlings’ in partnership with Australian Forest and Wood Innovations (AFWI) and the University of Sydney. The research will involve substantial fieldwork in Tasmania, Australia, focusing on applied animal behavioural ecology and plant-herbivore interactions. Applicants must have an unconditional offer of admission or be currently enrolled in a full-time master’s by research program at the University of Sydney, and hold an Honours degree (First Class or Second-Class Upper) or equivalent in Biology, Ecology, or Evolution. The scholarship provides a stipend of AUD $31,333 per annum for up to 1.5 years, subject to satisfactory academic performance. This opportunity is ideal for students interested in ecological research, forestry, and practical solutions to environmental challenges. The application deadline is November 14, 2025.

This PhD scholarship at the University of Sydney is designed to support an international student undertaking research in biologically inspired neural networks within the School of Psychology, Faculty of Science.
