Elizabeth New

Two postdoctoral research associate positions are available on an ARC-funded project focused on chemical biology and synthetic chemistry . The project aims to develop chemical tools to measure mitochondrial membrane potential , with relevance to both medical imaging and broader chemical sensing applications. The positions are associated with Elizabeth New and Lou Rendina, and the post links to two University of Sydney Workday job postings: one in Postdoctoral Research Associate in Chemical Biology and one in Postdoctoral Research Associate in Synthetic Chemistry . The opportunity is based at the University of Sydney (Camperdown Campus). This is a funded postdoctoral employment opportunity rather than a scholarship. The post does not provide salary, duration, or detailed eligibility criteria, but it clearly states that there are 2 postdoc positions and that applications are closing soon. Interested candidates should review the two job pages, confirm fit with the project’s chemistry/biology focus, and submit an application through the University of Sydney recruitment portal. The post says there are 10 days left to apply , but no exact calendar deadline is given in the text.

PhD opportunity in radiochemistry at the University of Sydney through the ARC Training Centre for the Development of Advanced Radiochemical Technologies (DART). The project focus is on the synthesis of new radiolabelled molecules for radiopharmaceutical studies , with supervision listed under Prof. Louis Rendina , Prof. Elizabeth New , and/or Prof. Peter Rutledge . The broader DART centre describes research in advanced radiochemical technologies, radiochemical training, and collaboration across universities, government, and industry partners. This is a fully funded PhD scholarship . Funding includes a stipend equivalent to the University of Sydney RTP rate for up to 14 research periods, with the scholarship page listing $42,754 per annum in 2026 . For international students, tuition fees are also covered for the same period. The DART post additionally mentions monetary support for laboratory work, conferences, and domestic/international travel. Eligibility highlights: applicants must have an unconditional offer of admission to a PhD in the School of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, University of Sydney, and hold a First-Class Honours degree or Master’s degree (or equivalent) with a major in Chemistry . The scholarship page notes that majors in pharmacy, biology, biotechnology, or medical sciences are not eligible. Preferred experience includes synthetic organic chemistry, multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, rare earth metal chemistry, medicinal chemistry, radiochemistry, and/or chemical biology. The official scholarship page lists the open date as 2026-05-22 and the close date as 2026-06-04 . Applicants should use the University of Sydney scholarship link and follow the instructions on the official page. The DART website also says PhD projects are defined as they become available and may involve an expression of interest process to the project lead.
