The Project:
Molecular imaging agents play an increasingly important role in modern healthcare since Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a remarkably sensitive non-invasive imaging technique which can provide valuable information at the cellular level. The high sensitivity of this imaging technique facilitates the early detection and monitoring of disease progression.

This PhD project focuses on the syntheses of highly specific PET tracers for the early detection of brain tumors. The successful candidate will be involved in the development and evaluation of new PET tracers and will gain hands-on experience in synthetic chemistry, radiochemistry (fluorine-18, carbon-11) and the use of a wide range of analytical techniques (including NMR, MS, HPLC).

The person

We are seeking applicants with a background in chemistry, preferably with strong synthetic chemistry experience. A Masters qualification and/or relevant professional/research experience would be an advantage.

Applicants must fulfil the PhD admission criteria for the University of Queensland, including English language requirements, and demonstrate excellent capacity and potential for research. Entry requirements can be found at: http://www.uq.edu.au/study/progr ... =7501&year=2014

Applications from domestic and international candidates are welcome. …
