Whether you want to research, invest, donate or partner with us to accelerate our life-changing discoveries, we'd be delighted to hear from you. We have opportunities for PhD students, post docs and senior researchers to join our lab. Feel free to contact Professor Mike Ryan with any queries.

The Ryan lab has a great work ethic in a friendly and collegial setting. Former lab members have excelled here and abroad - see our Alumni section under lab members for more details.

Honours and Masters Students

Honours student places are available in the Ryan lab. Our projects are designed to give students the opportunity to undertake a unique research project where they will learn a variety of techniques to skill them for the workforce and/or potential PhD positions. Experienced and friendly lab members give students daily supervision in the lab. We welcome your visit to the lab where you can meet the team.

Please contact Mike to arrange an appointment and include your academic transcript.

PhD Students

PhD positions are available to suitably qualified students with a genuine interest in our work. Applicants must have a first-class honours degree or equivalent with skills in molecular and/or cell biology.

Students should send their academic transcript and cover letter to Mike for appraisal.

PhD scholarships are awarded by Monash University on a competitive basis.
