Why undertake a PhD in Molecular Biosciences
PhD opportunities and supervisors within the FHMRI Molecular Biosciences theme are available in the following research fields:
A PhD in Molecular Biosciences will position you as an expert in your area of specialisation. A PhD is a stepping stone to professional research or as a highly sought-after expert in the private or public sector in Australia and internationally. You will gain invaluable critical analysis skills.
This prestigious degree will equip you with valuable skills for developing successful grants, improving research quality and research capacity, and skills for developing collaboration and engagement with your peers, industry and consumers.
FHMRI brings together world-leading, innovative and inspiring research experts to improve health, prevent disease and combat health inequalities.
We work with health practitioners, patients and with one of the largest networks of remote and rural community partnerships to better understand and seek solutions to the most pressing health and medical needs of Australians.
Our research supervisors are leaders in their field and work with researchers and/or clinicians from other disciplines in a truly collaborative, real-world health and medical environment. They are committed to educating the medical researchers of the future, and will mentor you and create tailored opportunities for your career pathway.
