2025 Biology and Management of Paradoxa Grass Scholarship at The University of Queensland

This GRDC-funded weed management initiative aims to build capacity in northern Australia's grain region. UQ will train three PhD students in weed science under this initiative, particularly in Queensland. The project focusses on the biology and management of key weed species, with students developing expertise in remote sensing, modelling or molecular biology. They will also collaborate regularly with other students from other weed management initiative nodes (CSU, UA and UWA) across Australia.
