About DART

DART is a dynamic and symbiotic collaboration of academic and industry investigators across 3 leading Australian Universities and 7 Government/Industrial partners, respectively. Centre participants engage in cutting-edge research projects aimed at uncovering new molecular approaches to harness radioactivity and expand domestic and international opportunity to meet rapidly escalating global radiopharmaceutical markets.

Opportunity

DART is recruiting doctoral candidates with a background in chemistry, medicine, or pharmacology interested in pursuing PhD projects in Radiochemistry with fully-funded scholarships and monetary support for laboratory work, conferences and domestic/international travel. The Centre experience includes hands-on radiochemical training and up to 12 months immersion with Government and Industry partners.

We welcome applicants from diverse academic and professional backgrounds.

Graduates of DART will become the next generation of highly skilled scientists needed to manufacture high-value biologically active radiochemical agents and radiopharmaceuticals. Current projects are located at our Monash University node. Please see www.arcdart.org/how-to-apply for the listing of projects and the EoI form.

This is a strict EoI process; do NOT apply via My.App until told to do so by DART. As these scholarships will be assigned to specific individuals by DART, the application process is a different than what you will find on the Monash application webpages. Successful applicants need to meet both the Monash minimum qualification criteria as well as any Faculty-specific requirements.
