About this position

Join a fully funded PhD project in the McDevitt Laboratory at the University of Melbourne and the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity, in collaboration with Prof. Trevor Moraes at the University of Toronto. This interdisciplinary research opportunity focuses on understanding how antimicrobial-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, a WHO priority pathogen, acquires essential nutrients like zinc to survive host stress and antibiotic treatments. The project leverages advanced molecular microbiology, structural biology, and mass spectrometry techniques to investigate bacterial metal homeostasis, with the goal of developing novel therapeutic strategies against infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance.

As a PhD student, you will receive hands-on training at both the University of Melbourne and University of Toronto, gaining experience with state-of-the-art research methods and contributing to high-impact, clinically relevant science. The ideal candidate will have a background in microbiology, biochemistry, or structural techniques, and a strong drive to advance scientific knowledge in infectious disease research. This opportunity is perfect for those passionate about tackling global health challenges and making a difference in the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Funding is fully provided, though specific stipend and tuition details are not listed. The application process is online, and interested candidates are encouraged to follow the provided link for more information and to apply. No explicit deadline is mentioned, so early application is recommended. For further details, refer to the supervisor's LinkedIn profile or the project announcement.
