Facilities (VAPC) and the National Supercomputing facilities (APAC).

The successful applicants should have a strong background in science, or engineering.

Topics currently studied include the investigation of computational biomolecular modelling, structural studies of amino acids, DNA/RNA fragments and neucleosides, electron momentum spectral interpretation and simulation, molecular physics and bioinformatics.

International students should apply for both an International Postgraduate Research Scholarship (IPRS) and a Swinburne University Postgraduate Research Award (SUPRA).

The Scholarships include:

  • Up to $22,000 pa;
  • Up to three and half years;
