Research highlights

PhD positions available
September 20, 2007

Opportunities are now available for PhD research projects supervised by Associate Professor Rob Brooks. 

Ideally, students would have with skills in genetics, functional genomics, quantitative genetics, and computational biology. Research projects are well-funded, but students should be competitive for a scholarship to pay living expenses and tuition.

Much of the current research is conducted on guppies, field crickets and native flies. There are also opportunitities to work on mice and native Australian fishes (especially osteoglossids and blue-eyes). Close links with Simon Griffith's group provide opportunities for cosupervised projects on other taxa (especially birds).
