Monash - Newcastle University PhD Student Exchange Program


A formal partnership between Monash and Newcastle Universities is now established. This builds upon the long-standing collaboration and complementary capabilities and strategic objectives of both institutions in translational health and life sciences research, and education.

We are delighted to announce a new call for our PhD Student Exchange Program whereby we will have a 2-way flow of students with shared supervision from across the Universities. The primary supervisor will be at the enrolled students host University and the co-supervisor at the collaborating University. The exchange program will enable PhD students from each institution to take up a 3 months exchange at Monash or Newcastle depending on the project and training requirements. The PhD Student Exchange is expected to create a new pathway for graduates from both Universities for enhanced competitiveness and increased success in international fellowship applications, as well a building further capacity for larger strategic partnerships.

Up to 8 PhD student bursaries (4 from each institution) will be awarded and successful students will receive full travel and living costs for up to 3 months.

Applications will be considered in the following areas of research:
·         Neuroscience
·         Infection & Immunity
·         Metabolism & Nutrition
·         Platform Systems

In order to apply for this exciting research opportunity the main supervisor is required to complete the online application form using the following link:
