Research Opportunities

Your passion for research has always taken centre stage in your life. With research areas covering nanotechnology, biotechnology and biophysics, climate change, water, environments, informatics and systems modelling, bioinformatics, medicinal chemistry, advanced smart materials, origins of the universe, sustainable energy, pests and diseases, there’s no doubt you’ll find something in which to completely immerse yourself.

As Australia’s leading research University, our PhD programs let you explore the challenges facing your field. A catalyst for excellence, we attract local and international students committed to making a difference through high–level research. In doing so, we attract funding so we can offer major scholarships across our nine departments, to help you extend your knowledge, investigate and continue your valuable research. Looking for new abstractions and solutions, you will work with leading minds that are as passionate about scientific discovery as you are.

A PhD scholarship from the University of Melbourne will let you do that in our departments and schools in Botany, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Genetics, Information Systems, Mathematics and Statistics, Optometry and Vision Sciences, Physics and Zoology. And help you play your part in the future of science.
