Use your skills to develop a high-throughput biodiscovery screening
protocol Identify biologically interesting molecules from collection
specimens Join CSIRO and kick-start your research career!

CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide
opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their
doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work
experience. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of
future leaders of the innovation system. In this position, you will
work with a multidisciplinary team from CSIRO and the University of
Queensland to develop and apply novel molecular biology and analytical
methods for the discovery of valuable molecules using natural history
collection specimens. You will develop a high-throughput biodiscovery
screening protocol that will involve the use and refinement of genomics,
analytical chemistry and bioassay experiments.

Your duties will include:

Carrying out innovative, impactful research of strategic importance to
CSIRO that will, where possible, lead to novel and important scientific
outcomes. Developing a novel high-throughput pipeline for the discovery
of valuable molecules using collections specimens. Adapting protocols
for the extraction of invertebrate and plant material for genomics,
transcriptomics and metabolomics. Developing or adapting current
pipelines for the characterisation of interesting molecules from various
omics data. Testing the properties of invertebrate and plant chemical
extracts in various bioassays.
