Joining us

Post-doctoral positions funded by NHMRC grant are available for conducting research on the broad area of computational systems biology in stem cells and their therapeutic application. Interested candidates are encouraged to please contact Pengyi Yang, lab head, to discuss potential projects and other details (pengyi.yang [at] sydney.edu.au)

PhD scholarships are available for both domestic and international candidates. Please see our recruitment advertisement link. Also see link for more details on Children's Medical Research Institute PhD Research Award. For details on scholarships offered at the University of Sydney, please see link.

Honours projects are available through either Children's Medical Research Institute, Faculty of Health and Medicine, see link; or the School of Mathematics and Statistics, Faculty of Science, see link. For more details regarding projects, please contact Pengyi Yang.

Summer research scholarships are available for third year undergraduates at both Children's Medical Research Institute and Charles Perkins Centre. For more details regarding potential projects and scholarships, please contact Pengyi Yang.

For postgraduate applicants, all 'wet' projects require experience with cell culturing and good understanding of basic experimental protocols (e.g. qPCR, westernblotting) and preferably experience of (single cell-)sequencing and mass spectrometry-based proteomics. All 'dry' projects require programming skill in at least one programming/scripting language (R, Perl, Python, Java, C++, C and Matlab). There are ample opportunity to work closely with biologists, statisticians, bioinformaticians, and computer scientists.
