About this position

Scholarship opportunity for a domestic PhD student at the University of New England, Armidale, NSW, Australia, with a strong interest in chemistry and biological sciences.

The post is shared by Associate Professor Kirstan Vessey (University of New England) and points to the NSW RNA Research and Training Network HDR Opportunities page, which lists multiple PhD projects across RNA biology, therapeutics, delivery systems, and science communication.

Highlighted research themes include RNA therapeutics, molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, chromatin biology, reproductive biology, viral infection, lipid nanoparticles, extrahepatic nucleic acid delivery, AI-integrated molecular design, and public health messaging around RNA vaccines and therapeutics.

Examples of projects on the linked page include RNA regulation during genome reprogramming, RNA-based therapeutics targeting viral infection pathways, AI-guided design of zwitterionic ionizable lipids for extrahepatic delivery, and media/public perception of RNA vaccines and therapeutics in Australia.

Eligibility varies by project, but the page mentions candidates with backgrounds in molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, RNA biology, chemistry, biomedical science, pharmaceutical science, biotechnology, or related fields. Some projects are aimed at students who have completed or are completing an Honours year or Masters training.

How to apply: contact the relevant supervisor or project lead to discuss the opportunity, then follow the instructions on the HDR opportunities page. For at least one project, applicants are asked to submit an Expression of Interest with a CV, scanned academic transcripts, and a brief statement of research interests and suitability.

Funding is described as a scholarship opportunity, but the post does not provide stipend, tuition, or duration details.
