A position is available for a highly motivated student to undertake research studies leading to a PhD at The University of Sydney in the Australian Key Centre for Microscopy & Microanalysis (http://www.emu.usyd.edu.au). The student will be based at the Electron Microscope Unit of the University and will work closely with staff of the Major National Research Facility - Nanostructural Analysis Network Organisation (MNRF-NANO) (http://www.nano.org.au).
Colorectal cancer is a common malignant disease, with the majority of deaths attributable to liver metastasis. In the Western world, it is the second cause of cancer death in women after breast cancer, and the third cause of cancer death in men after lung and prostate cancer. Our team explores the mechanisms of liver colorectal cancer metastasis, proliferation and as well as mechanisms of cell death and survival by collecting unknown fine structural tissue and (sub)cellular molecular information. In this project we especially endeavour to elucidaHte further the complex and dynamic machinery of membrane transport and signalling mechanisms which have been shown to be a key event in colorectal tumour cell survival and further metastatic outgrowth. The successful candidate will apply cutting-edge 3D and 4D microscopic methods in combination with correlative immunocytochemistry- and molecular biology techniques to address the aims of the study.
We are interested in talking to students with, or who expect to achieve, an Honours 1 or 2A degree or equivalent in disciplines such as biology, biochemistry, biomedicine, medicine, pharmacy, molecular biology or other related disciplines in the life sciences.
The scholarship valued at $24,851 per annum (tax exempt) and may be renewed for up to three years, subject to satisfactory progress.
Further information can be obtained from A/Prof Filip Braet, Australian Key Centre for Microscopy & Microanalysis, Madsen Building, F09, Room 8a and 8b, The University of Sydney NSW 2006 (Phone: + 61 2 9351 7619, Email: see below). Applications should be sent direct to A/Prof Braet at the above address and should include a curriculum vitae, a copy of an academic transcript, and the names and contact details of at least two referees
