About this position

PhD opportunity at Monash University Malaysia in dual-omics profiling, ensemble machine learning, biosensing, and predictive toxicology.

This project investigates how human cells respond to nanoplastic–biotoxin co-exposures within the broader context of the human exposome. The research combines proteomics and metabolomics with ensemble machine learning to map cell state dynamics, identify exposure thresholds, and build dose-response models for emerging contaminants. It also uses biosensing protocols to quantify exposure and connect molecular profiles to toxicological outcomes.

Research themes: environmental science, toxicology, cell biology, biotechnology, climate-related contaminant exposure, and data-driven modelling.

Supervisor: Dr. Michelle Yap Khai Khun, Monash University, with associate supervisors Dr. Ong Huey Fang, Dr. Krystle Angelique Santiago, and Dr. Faddrine Jang.

Funding: Successful applicants will be awarded a Graduate Research Excellence Scholarship (GRES), including a full tuition fee waiver and a monthly stipend for up to 3 years 6 months.

Eligibility: Minimum First Class Honours (H1) or equivalent recognised by Monash University Malaysia, plus English language requirements.

Location: Subang Jaya, Malaysia.

How to apply: Contact the main supervisor first with your academic background and achievements to confirm fit. Then submit your application using the advertised research topic and follow the application submission guide.

Deadline: Tuesday, 15 September 2026.

Funding details

Full funding including tuition fees and living expenses is available for this position. The scholarship covers all educational costs and provides a monthly stipend.
