Future postgraduate students

MCSS can assist students interested in studying for a higher degree by research in the synchrotron sciences to contact suitable supervisors of research projects.

Generally, students studying the following subjects will have suitable backgrounds to pursue research in the area of synchrotron science: anatomy, biology, biomedical science, chemistry, engineering, formulation science, medical imaging and radiation sciences, pharmacy and physics.

Synchrotron science researchers at Monash will have the unique advantage of being located next door to the Australian Synchrotron. Find out more about the projects undertaken by current MCSS supported students here.

Monash staff are welcome to list research projects on our website by sending a short synopsis to the MCSS Research and Training Manager.
