The Opportunity:
-
Do you have a PhD in microbiology, virology, biochemistry, immunology, molecular biology or a related field?**:
Develop innovative approaches to design and test novel mRNA molecules to express antigens to impart protective immune response to an important livestock disease:
Join our team at the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness in Geelong for this 3 year postdoctoral role
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.
Despite the success of veterinary vaccines, globalisation has dramatically increased risks of disease outbreaks.
For example, foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) has recently spread into Indonesia after more than 30 years of freedom posing a risk to the Australian livestock industry with impacts of up to $80 billion over a 10-year period.
In addition, new lineages of FMD are regularly detected in endemic areas necessitating updated vaccines. African swine fever and lumpy skin disease have spread globally and is now present in our neighbouring countries. The solution to current biosecurity threats requires a rapid, agile, and transformative response which traditional approaches fail to provide.There is a desperate need for innovative, state-of-the-art, quick to manufacture platforms for veterinary vaccines to help protect domestic and export markets and future-proof Australia from biosecurity 'megashocks'.
Your duties will include:
- Improving Australia's preparedness for high impact emergency animal diseases by developing innovative approaches to design and test novel mRNA molecules to express antigens to impart protective immune response to an important livestock disease.
- Exploring emerging approaches to improve mRNA stability and translation efficiency in an animal model.
- Using systems approaches to elucidate the protective immune responses in an animal model; improving mRNA design for increased protection against infection; and developing novel diagnostics tests that can be used to distinguish between infected and vaccinated animals.
- Managing laboratory workflow to plan and achieve the project objectives.
Location:
Geelong, Victoria
Salary:
AU$92k - AU$101k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure:
Specified term of 3 years
Reference: 90896
To be considered you will need:
- A doctorate (or will shortly satisfy the requirements of a PhD) in a relevant discipline area, such as microbiology, virology, biochemistry, immunology, molecular biology or a related field
Please note:
To be_ _eligible for this role you must have no more than 3 years (or full-time equivalent) of postdoctoral research experience_.
_- Evidence of technical and experimental experience in microbiology, virology, molecular biology, including immunology.
- Ambition and motivation relating to exploring novel approaches to RNA technologies in animal health.
- Willingness to travel within Australia and internationally (where appropriate) to perform laboratory work at collaborating institutions.
