Opportunities

  • Great resource for neuroscience research funding

    16 May 2023 - 31 December 2026

    A good resource to keep tabs on for all neuroscience-related research funding:

  • Call for PhD Students in Structural Bioinformatics (Opportunity to apply for NRF-grant holder linked bursaries)

    14 May 2026 - 13 September 2026
    Dr Caro Ross is recruiting PhD students to join an interdisciplinary research program in structural bioinformatics and computational biology. Her research group focuses on understanding gene regulation through modelling protein-protein and protein-RNA interactions. See attached  
     
    We particularly encourage applications from students with strong computational or quantitative backgrounds, including computer science, mathematics, physics, statistics and computational biology. Experience in programming, Linux/HPC environments, machine learning, or structural modelling is recommended.
     
    Students may apply for NRF bursary funding through the NRF-grant holder linked funding stream (through NRF-CSUR grant or NITheCS Centre of Excellence, both of which Dr Ross is funded through). 
    Please take note of NRF funding deadlines, often early Sept.
