Bruce Veness Chandler Research Scholarship in Peptide and Protein Chemistry

The Bruce Veness Chandler Research Scholarship in Peptide and Protein Chemistry supports postgraduate research students enrolled in the School of Chemistry at the University of Sydney working in the area of food chemistry, peptides, and proteins. Established through the Bruce Veness Chandler Fund, this scholarship aims to encourage research involving the application of the knowledge of chemistry to the study of bio(macro)molecules (e.g., food chemistry), with the subject and approach designed such that the research leads to scientific publication. The scholarship provides a stipend allowance equivalent to the minimum Research Training Program (RTP) Stipend rate for up to 3.5 years, subject to satisfactory academic performance. Recipients must be undertaking research in the field of chemistry applied to peptides, proteins and food-related topics, within the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Innovations in Peptide and Protein Science (CIPPS). The successful applicant is selected based on academic merit, area of study, and research proposal, with preference given to graduates of the University of Sydney.
