Australian National University Research Degree Scholarships

PhD scholarship at The University of Newcastle, Australia in the group of Dr Tom Evans-Soma on characterisation of water world exoplanets . Two project options are available: an observation-focused project analysing James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations of sub-Neptune exoplanets and water world candidates, and a modelling-focused project developing atmospheric and climate models for water-rich worlds. Research themes include exoplanets , water worlds , sub-Neptunes , atmospheric retriev...

Funded PhD opportunity at The University of Western Australia (UWA) in coral resilience and assisted adaptation. The School of Biological Sciences at UWA is advertising a PhD project titled “Scaling Resilience: Molecular High-Throughput Adaptation Strategies for Coral Resilience.” The research is supervised by Dr Kate Quigley and focuses on improving coral resilience to ocean warming through the experimental evolution of coral-associated Symbiodiniaceae . The project will examine thermal limits,...
