Communicating Biobanks: Public Communication and Population Health |
As part of an NHMRC Program Grant, the Menzies Research Institute is investigating the establishment of a human genetic databank (or 'biobank') in Tasmania. The Centre for Law and Genetics will be running a public consultation program about establishing this biobank. This PhD project will use this public consultation process as a case study of public communications in the context of population health research and against a background of growth in the establishment of biobanks internationally. The scholarship will provide a stipend of $26, 669 pa non-taxable.

| Eucalpyt Genomics |
A University of Tasmania Scholarship ($26,669pa full-time tax-free) is available as part of of a recently awarded 4 year ARC Discovery grant. The project will use state-of-the-art-high- throughput genomic technology in a model system of closely related species of Eucalyptus to assess:
- evolutionary relationships;
- identify regions of the genome associated with species divergence;
- extent and nature of the genetic exchange between species in natural forests; and
- phenotypic and fitness consequences of such gene exchange.
CLOSING DATE: Until filled |

Eucalypt Genetics |
An Australian Postgraduate Award Industry (APAI)
Scholarship ($26,669pa full time) is available to
study the genetic control of survival and growth of Australia’s
major plantation eucalypt, Eucalyptus globulus, in traditional
and water-limited environments. With southern Australia facing
drier conditions through climate change and the increasing
requirements of land for reforestation and carbon capture,
there is an urgent need to understand the potential for adaptation
in forest trees and the genetic opportunities that exist to
maximize productivity in diverse environments.The successful candidate will work with Australia's national tree breeding co-operative (STBA) and industry, as well as international collaborators from countries such as Portugal and Spain
CLOSING DATE: Until filled |

Amoebic Gill Disease PhD Scholarship: This project is investigating the generation of mucosal antibodies to Neoparamoeba perurans attachment proteins as a way of vaccinating against amoebic gill disease (AGD). The project aims to identify the most efficacious vaccination method and best candidate protein antigens(s) that can be utilised to drive the immune response toward blocking attachment of the parasite and hence result in a vaccine with the maximal efficacy toward AGD. |

| Success Factors in ICT product development in Tasmanian SMEs |
This research project seeks to investigate a range of ICT applications in agriculture from the farmer's perspective, specifically:
- Current ICT applications in use and the farmer's evaluation of their effectiveness;
- Potential applications as seen by farmers as needed and potentially beneficial, in effect an analysis of ICT needs and wants;
- Farmers' assessment of new technologies and ICT systems being researched and developed and promised for the future - do farmers see these as potentially beneficial and what problems do farmers see with them?
