Apply now Job no:507302
Area:Qld Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation
Salary (FTE):School Schol (RTP Rate) NONBAND ($27,596.00 – $27,596.00)
Work type:Full Time – Scholarship
Location: St Lucia
The Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation (QAAFI) is a research institute of the University of Queensland (UQ) which was established in 2010 and comprises of three research centres - the Centre for Plant Science, the Centre for Animal Science, the Centre for Nutrition and Food Sciences.
QAAFI's team of 450 researchers, postgraduate students and support staff undertake high impact science for agriculture and food industries. The institute's strong partnership with the Queensland Government provides our researchers with a direct link to the agriculture industry in Queensland, and world class field research facilities throughout Queensland. Agriculture is one of UQ's highest ranked research fields nationally and internationally and QAAFI is a global leader in agricultural research in subtropical and tropical production systems.
QAAFI scientists are driven to make a difference to the agriculture and food industries and have over 150 collaborators worldwide.
Details of the research interests of the Institute are available at the Institute's web site at: http://www.qaafi.uq.edu.au
The National Tree Genomics Program - Genomics Toolbox is a $4.2M project led by QAAFI researchers at the University of Queensland and funded by Horticulture Innovation Australia with collaborative partners from Australian Industry and Universities. This 5 year Research project began in October 2018 and conducts genomics research across crops: Macadamia, Mango, Almond, Citrus and Avocado. The PhD position is available to conduct genomics research in Macadamia in relation to providing the molecular basis of phenotype and gene expression or genetic variation in the genome. This will involve the establishment of high quality reference genome/s, transcriptome and re-sequencing of key tissue types and populations respectively to relate to specific industry relevant phenotypes for genetic improvement.
The successful candidate will have a Master's degree, 1st Class Honours degree, or equivalent in Plant Molecular Biology, Bioinformatics, Genomics fields relevant to the above described projects. We welcome both domestic and international applicants.
