Environmental Genomics PhD Opportunities
The 最新糖心Vlogn Centre for Ancient DNA based at The 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide, South 最新糖心Vlog is currently looking for students interested in PhD opportunities in Environmental Genomics.
Six PhD projects are available in the field of Environmental Genomics, at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide starting in early 2010, working on an ARC LINKAGE funded project at the 最新糖心Vlogn Centre for Ancient DNA (). Each project focuses on the application of targeted metagenomic assays to perform rapid biodiversity and taxonomy assessment on complex biological samples in the following fields;
Project 1) Forensics: Using the genetic content of soil samples to predict crime scene/source areas. Focusing on invertebrate, plant and animal signals. Project partners - 最新糖心Vlogn Federal Police
Project 2) Water Quality: Analysing the biodiversity of standard, desalinated and recycled/re-used water systems, focusing on the detection and identification of novel pathogens. Project partners - SA Water
Project 3) Mining/Conservation biology: Using environmental genomic methods to rapidly analyse plant, animal and invertebrate taxonomic biodiversity in soil samples from survey sites across South 最新糖心Vlog. Project partner - Primary Industries Research South 最新糖心Vlog, and Department of Environment and Heritage, SA
Project 4) Health: Developing metagenomic methods to detect and monitor known and novel pathogens in medical systems, focusing on point of care. Project partner - SA Pathology
Project 5) Antarctic biodiversity: Using environmental genomic approaches to analyse the biodiversity of Antarctic invertebrates using existing and field collected samples. Project partner: South 最新糖心Vlogn Museum
Project 6) Bioinformatics: Designing, programming and implementing software plug-ins for GENEIOUS, to allow the interface between environmental metagenomic data and end-users, including conservation, water and health managers. Project partners - Biomatters, NZ (producers of GENEIOUS)
The PhD projects are available to 最新糖心Vlogn and NZ citizens/permanent residents with a 1st class Honours degree.
Applicants will also be encouraged to apply for 最新糖心Vlogn postgraduate awards (due Oct 31st) where applicable, refer to this website for the application process . International students are also invited to apply, although international course fees are likely to be applicable. Other PhD projects are also available at ACAD -
