About this position
PhD opportunity at QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute in Brisbane, Australia focused on cardiac fibrosis, extracellular matrix (ECM) dynamics, and metalloproteases.
The project investigates how ECM production, degradation, crosslinking, and remodelling shape contractile outcomes in human cardiac organoids. You will work with existing proteomics and RNA-seq datasets, perform bioinformatics analysis, experimentally modulate regulatory targets in vitro, and use mass spectrometry-based proteomics and advanced microscopy to study ECM remodelling. Human heart tissue samples may also be used for cross-validation.
This is a competition-funded PhD project for students worldwide. Funding includes a living allowance scholarship and single cover OSHC insurance.
Ideal applicants should have interest in cardiology, cell biology, molecular biology, bioinformatics, proteomics, and experimental disease modelling. The project is especially relevant for candidates interested in anti-fibrotic mechanisms and translational cardiovascular research.
Deadline: 2026-08-23.
Funding details
Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
How to apply
Please submit your application including a cover letter, CV, academic transcripts, and contact information for two references. Applications should be sent via the online portal before the deadline.
