Full time Fixed Term - 3 years Bundoora Campus Be part of a passionate and innovative team
About the position
The purpose of this position is to conduct fundamental research into plant biology as a member of Prof Mathew G Lewsey's lab and of the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Plants for Space (P4S). Based at the La Trobe Institute for Sustainable Agriculture and Food (LISAF) in Bundoora, the appointee will support development and deployment of a plant growth experiment on the moon for the NASA Artemis iii mission (scheduled for September 2026).
The mission of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Plants for Space P4S is to deliver transformative solutions for Space habitation and create enhanced plant-derived food and bioresources to for emerging domestic and global markets.
This position will be part of the Lunar Effects on Agricultural Flora team, who are developing a fully contained growth capsule to be deployed by Artemis iii NASA astronauts on the moon. Inside the capsule Arabidopsis, Brassica rapa and duckweed will be grown and monitored for approximately 5 days, then samples returned to Earth for analysis. These samples will be analysed using primarily transcriptomic techniques, to understand the effects on plants of low gravity, the closed environment, and high radiation exposure.
The appointee will be involved in method development for sample fixation/preservation, analyses of single-cell and bulk transcriptomic data, and integration of transcriptomic data with other data modalities to generate gene regulatory networks or similar. The project will combine wet-lab and computational approaches and would suit someone with enthusiasm for method development and refinement.
Skills and Experience
To be considered for this position, you will have
Completion of a Bachelor's degree in the relevant discipline (plant molecular sciences, agricultural science, plant biology, bioinformatics, computational biology), and evidence of participation in higher level study relevant to discipline or professional area. A record of contribution to publications, conference papers and/or reports, or professional or technical contributions which provide evidence of research potential. Experience in the analysis and modelling of data, including the capacity to integrate data from a range of sources and of uneven quality. Experience of molecular biology or computational biology, ideally with a focus on plant genetics or genomics.-
