About this position
PhD scholarship opportunity in ovarian cancer early detection research at Flinders University (College of Medicine and Public Health, Australia). The project focuses on high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), using a multiomics approach to identify early-detection biomarkers with patient-derived organoids and other relevant models.
This is a PhD scholarship rather than a postdoctoral or masters opening. The scholarship is valued at A$36,061 per annum for 3.5 years. A Research Training Program Fee Offset covers tuition for Australian citizens, New Zealand citizens, and permanent residents. Outstanding international applicants may be supported to apply for a Research Training Program fee waiver for tuition, though only a limited number of fee waivers are available. International applicants should note that visa fees and related expenses, including insurance, are not covered.
Eligibility highlights: applicants must meet PhD admission requirements, typically an Australian Honours degree Class 1 or 2A (or equivalent AQF Level 8) with a research component, or equivalent research experience such as a substantial first-author refereed publication or competitive grant involvement. Domestic applicants must be Australian citizens, New Zealand citizens, or Australian permanent residents. International applicants are welcome if they meet the same academic criteria, have 1–2 first/co-author publications in Q1/Q2 journals, and satisfy Flinders University English language requirements if coming from a non-English-speaking country.
Research skills sought: cell culture and cell-based techniques, western blot/ELISA and other immunoassays, DNA/RNA isolation, qPCR, data handling, basic statistics, and strong communication skills. Desirable experience includes mouse models, flow cytometry, CRISPR/siRNA, and immunohistochemistry.
How to apply: email your CV, at least two references, a cover letter addressing the selection criteria, and academic transcripts to Dr. Arnab Ghosh at [email protected]. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a virtual interview and a short presentation of previous research work.
Deadline: 2026-10-31.
