Do you have a PhD in viral genomics or vertebrate epigenomics?**:
Conduct impactful research and collaborate with international researchers
-
Join CSIRO's Natural Collections and Marine Infrastructure Team in this 3-year postdoctoral opportunity
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.
Viral biodiversity in Australasia will be tracked in historical samples from wildlife biorepositories using cutting-edge museum-genomics technology.
Revealing the long-term history of infections will allow us to identify interfaces promoting emergence and other red-flags for spillover events, including viral prevalence, geographic spread, pathogen diversity, host-switches, or altered host response to infection.
The CERC Fellow will develop a viral biodiversity catalog for the Australasian region, compile a virus-host association database, characterise evolutionarily independent host responses and collaborate with an international team to model zoonotic spillover risk in the Australasian region.
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.
- Conducting genomic and epigenomic analysis on a range of organisms, with a focus on preserved tissues and other lowquality specimens (taxa will include terrestrial and aquatic vertebrates).
- Adapting and developing original experimental methods in support of existing and future research.
- Undertaking genomic and epigenomic data analysis and develop novel bioinformatic pipelines.
- Contributing to the maintenance of collection databases and management of associated metadata.
Location:
Black Mountain, Canberra, ACT
Salary:
AU$92k - AU$101k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure:
Specified term of 3 years
Reference:

To be considered you will need:
- A doctorate (or will shortly satisfy the requirements of a PhD) in a relevant discipline area, such as viral genomics or vertebrate epigenomics
Please note:
To be_ _eligible for this role you must have no more than 3 years (or full-time equivalent) of postdoctoral research experience_.
