PhD and Postdoctoral Opportunities in Microfluidics and Biomicrofluidics |
Monash University, Melbourne, Australia
PhD and postdoctoral opportunities are available to work on various
experimental and theoretical projects at the Micro/Nanophysics Research
Laboratory at Monash University. Current research is focused on
elucidating a fundamental understanding of novel phenomena at the
micro/nano scales and on the development of
micro/nano-electro-mechanical and microfluidic/nanofluidic devices for
a wide spectrum of biomedical engineering applications. Amongst the
projects currently being pursued are micron/submicron aerosol or
particle generation for pulmonary drug delivery using electric and
acoustic fields, biomaterials synthesis for tissue/orthopaedic
engineering and wound care therapy, micro-actuation with nanometer
accurate precisioning, micro-mixing for high throughput drug screening
microarrays, DNA stretching and manipulation, and, bioparticle
concentration/separation for pathogen detection in biosensors. There
will therefore be significant potential for the student or research
associate to make a significant impact in this area of MEMS/NEMS and
microfluidics.
Currently, graduate stipends are available to support research students
towards the award of a 3-year PhD degree. Graduate studentship awards
such as the Australian Postgraduate Awards, the Endeavour International
Postgraduate Research Scholarships and several Monash University
Postgraduate Scholarship schemes are available to cover the fees for
international students. Those interested in postdoctoral research are
also encouraged to inquire about possible opportunities, funding
schemes at both university, national and international level for which
are available.
Candidates for the PhD programme are expected to have obtained a good
first degree (or equivalent) in Chemical/Mechanical/Biomedical
Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, Applied Mathematics or a related
discipline. Candidates for the postdoctoral research associateship
should have submitted or are about to submit a PhD thesis.
