PhD Scholarship
A PhD vacancy is available in Professor Jamie Rossjohn’s laboratory at the School of Biomedical Sciences,Monash University.

Professor Rossjohn’s laboratory is involved in determining the events central to innate and adaptive immunity. Understanding the structural and biophysical basis of MHC-restriction, TCR engagement, the structural correlates of T-cell signalling is significant; they represent central questions in the field of adaptive immunity. Moreover, investigating the structural basis of T-cell allorecognition, and T-cell mediated autoimmunity, will collectively provide clear insights into immune dysfunction. In addition, focussing on generic components of innate immunity is important, as the mechanisms underlying innate recognition, is simply unknown.
The applicant should have 1st class honours or equivalent.
