University of Sydney Postgraduate Research Scholarship in the Development of Advanced Radiochemical Technologies 2026

The University of Sydney Postgraduate Research Scholarship in the Development of Advanced Radiochemical Technologies is a PhD funding opportunity at the University of Sydney, linked to the ARC Training Centre for the Development of Advanced Radiochemical Technologies (DART). It supports doctoral research in radiochemistry, including the synthesis of new radiolabelled molecules for radiopharmaceutical studies, within the School of Chemistry in the Faculty of Science.

This scholarship is intended for students commencing or holding an unconditional offer for a PhD at the University of Sydney. It is open to both domestic and international applicants. Based on the reference postings, the award provides a stipend at the University of Sydney RTP stipend rate for up to 14 research periods, indexed annually. For international students, tuition fees are covered for the same period. The scholarship may also provide additional support for laboratory work, conference participation, and domestic or international travel, subject to satisfactory progress and available funding.

Applicants are expected to have a strong academic background in Chemistry, typically including a First-Class Honours degree or a Master’s degree, or an equivalent qualification with a chemistry major. The opportunity especially suits candidates interested in radiochemistry and related areas such as synthetic organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, chemical biology, and analytical characterisation techniques.

The scholarship is hosted in Australia at the University of Sydney. In general, candidates need to secure admission to an eligible PhD programme in the School of Chemistry and then follow the university’s scholarship application process or instructions associated with the project advertisement. Because project-specific requirements can apply, applicants should carefully review the relevant University of Sydney and DART materials before applying.
