Gynaecological cancers are the third most common cancer type diagnosed in Australian women. Each year over 6,700 Australian women and girls are diagnosed with gynaecological cancer and almost a third will not survive their disease. We have a PhD opportunity available at the Queensland Centre for Gynaecological Cancer (QCGC) Research focusing on discovering and validating biomarkers that improve outcomes for women with gynaecological cancer. This project will involve working with clinical samples, conducting laboratory work, and analysing data. The successful applicant will work as part of the QCGC Research team at the UQ Centre for Clinical Research, as well as collaborate with researchers, clinicians, consumers, and stakeholders from other organisations, including hospitals, pathology providers and the community.
