3 weeks ago


Southport, Australia Griffith University Full time

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to contribute to groundbreaking research on spinal cord injury repair.

Job Description

The primary focus of this role is to investigate the differences between females and males in response to cell transplantation therapy for repairing spinal cord injuries.

This project aims to address the current imbalance in research, which predominantly focuses on males. By understanding how female biology influences cell transplantation outcomes, we can create a more effective therapy for all individuals affected by spinal cord injuries.

To achieve success in this role, you will require:

  • A collaborative approach to research
  • The ability to work both independently and as part of a large team
  • Independent drive and passion to contribute to scientific advancements

This PhD project will be primarily based at our Gold Coast campus, with opportunities to collaborate with our Nathan campus team as needed.

Qualifications and Requirements

To be eligible for this PhD scholarship, you must have completed or expect to complete a Bachelor's degree with Honours equivalent to First Class Honours or a Master's degree (AQF Level 9) incorporating a significant research component.

International applicants must demonstrate English Language Proficiency requirements, including a minimum overall band score of 6.5 on the IELTS (Academic) or an equivalent score on the TOEFL.

Salary and Benefits

We offer a competitive salary range of $28,597 - $39,101 AUD per annum, depending on your experience and qualifications.

In addition to your salary, you will also receive:

  • Access to cutting-edge research facilities and equipment
  • Opportunities for professional development and training
  • A supportive research environment with regular feedback and guidance
