PhD Opportunities in Analytical Chemistry in Australia

A UNSW Scientia PhD Scholarship is available in the School of Chemistry at the University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney), Australia, for research on AI-guided molecular recognition. The project combines native mass spectrometry, robotic chemistry and artificial intelligence to develop faster and more informative methods for discovering and characterising molecules that bind to proteins. The successful PhD researcher will contribute to multiplexed, multistage mass spectrometry, automated sample...

PhD scholarship opportunity in PFAS thermal desorption and destruction at the University of Newcastle in collaboration with CSIRO and industry partner SV Joint Venture Pty Ltd trading as EarthSure . This project sits within the CSIRO Industry PhD Program (iPhD) and focuses on applied research that addresses real-world environmental remediation challenges in Australia. The research aims to improve understanding of how PFAS are desorbed from impacted soils and destroyed in the gas phase within a c...

PhD scholarship opportunity at The University of Newcastle, Australia in sustainable agriculture , pesticide formulations , environmental science , and chemistry . This project develops wood vinegar (pyroligneous acid) as an eco-friendly adjuvant and carrier for pesticide formulations, with the goal of reducing environmental pollution, leaching, runoff, and harm to soils, waterways, and non-target organisms while maintaining crop protection. The research includes advanced chemical analysis (GC-M...

Research Degree Opportunity at The University of Melbourne Project title: Investigating the Health Impacts of Micro- and Nanoplastics: From Nanomaterials and Measurement to Experimental Models and Cell Biology . This interdisciplinary research degree project examines the health impacts of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs), with a focus on where these particles accumulate in human tissues and how they affect biological systems. The project brings together nanotechnology , analytical chemistry , biom...

PhD scholarship opportunity at The University of Queensland for a domestic student project on micro- and nanoplastics in drinking water . The research is based at the Queensland Alliance for Environmental Health Sciences (QAEHS) and is supervised by Dr Elvis Okoffo (ARC DECRA Research Fellow). The project investigates how micro- and nanoplastics enter drinking water systems, their sources and environmental pathways, how they behave through water treatment processes, and how they can be detected ...
