PhD Scholarships: How to optimise cell transplantation to repair spinal cord injury in women

Job Description

We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join our research team at Griffith University. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to contribute to a cutting-edge project investigating the differences between females and males in how they respond to a cell transplantation therapy for repairing spinal cord injury.

The primary focus of this role is to determine the biological differences between females and males during initial spinal cord injury and during repair processes. Our team is testing a cell transplantation in human clinical trial and to be successful in the future we need to ensure the therapy is optimised for females and for males.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Conducting research on the differences between females and males in how they respond to a cell transplantation therapy for repairing spinal cord injury
  • Collaborating with our team to design and implement experiments to investigate the biological differences between females and males during initial spinal cord injury and during repair processes
  • Analyzing data and drawing conclusions based on the results

Success in this role requires:

  • A collaborative approach to research
  • The ability to work both autonomously and co-operatively within a large team
  • Independent drive and passion to contribute to science

This PhD project will be primarily based at the Gold Coast campus but may also be at the Nathan campus as required.

Qualifications

To be successful in this role, applicants must have:

  • A scientific background in neuroscience and cell biology
  • Evidence of a passion for conducting basic and translational research
  • A strong desire to undertake research in neural repair

International applicants should ensure that English Language Proficiency requirements for the program are met before formally applying.
