PhD Scholarship in Post-Mining Environmental Rehabilitation.
Scholarship Description
We are seeking an outstanding student who is highly motivated and interested in an interdisciplinary project combining fundamental science with an important environmental application. The research is funded by an ARC Linkage grant: “Development of cryopreservation for high value provenance collections of recalcitrant plant species used in post-mining restoration”. The aim of the project is to better understand the molecular mechanisms of cryo-induced cell damage (and its prevention by cryo-protective agents) using a combination of molecular modelling and experimental studies on model systems, and to correlate these results with cryopreservation studies of recalcitrant and endangered plant species in order to maintain long-term collections of key genotypes required for post-mining environmental rehabilitation. Please refer to PDF for more information. This scholarship is closed.
