Microbiome therapy in koalas
We invite applications for an exciting PhD project developing point of care microbiome therapy in koalas during antimicrobial treatment under the supervision of Prof Jenny Seddon, together with Dr Michaela Blyton, Dr Deirdre Mikkelsen A/Prof Joerg Hennig and colleagues. The research is funded by the Morris Animal Foundation and will be undertaken in collaboration with Australian Zoo Wildlife Hospital and Currumbin Wildlife Hospital.
The project:
Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) are an iconic Australian marsupial that are now facing population declines in the majority of its range. Chlamydial infections, primarily Chlamydia pecorum, are common in koalas, with overt disease resulting in blindness, cystitis and infertility. Infection and disease rates can be high and are a leading cause of koala admissions to wildlife hospitals. Wildlife hospitals report gut dysfunction in koalas in association with antimicrobial treatment, with many koalas not surviving through treatment. This project will involve clinical trials of microbiome manipulation through oral faecal inoculations and developing predictive tools to be implemented at a practical level in wildlife hospitals. The project has the overall objective of reducing morbidity and mortality associated with gut dysfunction in koalas undergoing antimicrobial therapy.
The student:
We are seeking a motivated PhD student with a background in genetic or genomic analysis and an interest in wildlife conservation. The project will include analysis of next generation sequences, undertaking real time and isothermal PCRs, and involvement with clinical trials in koalas. An interest in developing diagnostic tests and/or microbiology is desirable. The successful PhD applicant will have good interpersonal and communication skills and be willing to travel between campuses and wildlife hospitals.
How to apply:
Applicants must be competitive for an Australian Government Research Training Program scholarship at The University of Queensland. Because of border closures associated with the pandemic, applicants must be in Australia at the time of application. To express interest in applying for this project, please send a cover letter and CV (including your academic transcript) to j.seddon1@uq.edu.au by 15th August 2021.
More information:
Please contact Jenny (j.seddon1@uq.edu.au) to discuss the project. For information regarding PhD admissions at the University of Queensland, please go to https://future-students.uq.edu.au/admissions/higher-degree-research and here for scholarship information.

Microbiome therapy in koalas
We invite applications for an exciting PhD project developing point of care microbiome therapy in koalas during antimicrobial treatment under the supervision of Prof Jenny Seddon, together with Dr Michaela Blyton, Dr Deirdre Mikkelsen A/Prof Joerg Hennig and colleagues. The research is funded by the Morris Animal Foundation and will be undertaken in collaboration with Australian Zoo Wildlife Hospital and Currumbin Wildlife Hospital.
The project:
Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) are an iconic Australian marsupial that are now facing population declines in the majority of its range. Chlamydial infections, primarily Chlamydia pecorum, are common in koalas, with overt disease resulting in blindness, cystitis and infertility. Infection and disease rates can be high and are a leading cause of koala admissions to wildlife hospitals. Wildlife hospitals report gut dysfunction in koalas in association with antimicrobial treatment, with many koalas not surviving through treatment. This project will involve clinical trials of microbiome manipulation through oral faecal inoculations and developing predictive tools to be implemented at a practical level in wildlife hospitals. The project has the overall objective of reducing morbidity and mortality associated with gut dysfunction in koalas undergoing antimicrobial therapy.
The student:
We are seeking a motivated PhD student with a background in genetic or genomic analysis and an interest in wildlife conservation. The project will include analysis of next generation sequences, undertaking real time and isothermal PCRs, and involvement with clinical trials in koalas. An interest in developing diagnostic tests and/or microbiology is desirable. The successful PhD applicant will have good interpersonal and communication skills and be willing to travel between campuses and wildlife hospitals.
How to apply:
Applicants must be competitive for an Australian Government Research Training Program scholarship at The University of Queensland. Because of border closures associated with the pandemic, applicants must be in Australia at the time of application. To express interest in applying for this project, please send a cover letter and CV (including your academic transcript) to j.seddon1@uq.edu.au by 15th August 2021.
More information:
Please contact Jenny (j.seddon1@uq.edu.au) to discuss the project. For information regarding PhD admissions at the University of Queensland, please go to https://future-students.uq.edu.au/admissions/higher-degree-research and here for scholarship information.
