PhD opportunity at Robinson Research Institute, Adelaide University in the Microbiome in Reproduction Laboratory . This project focuses on the reproductive microbiome and women's health , with an emphasis on chronic conditions such as pelvic pain and endometriosis . The research combines microbiology , genomics , bioinformatics , reproductive biology , and translational clinical research. Planned work includes developing and validating new approaches for at-home reproductive tract sampling, characterising bacterial, viral, and fungal communities using metagenomic and other omic approaches, and investigating the biological mechanisms behind microbial colonisation, persistence, and community dynamics in the reproductive tract. The opportunity is aimed at a highly motivated graduate, open to national and international applicants, with interest in microbiology, genomics, bioinformatics, reproductive biology, or women's health. The post does not mention a deadline, funding package, or formal application portal; interested candidates are asked to contact David MacIntyre directly at [email protected] .
