Great opportunity to work across multiple CSIRO laboratories in this exciting 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.
Wax moth larvae are known to eat polyethylene, the most heavily used but most recalcitrant type of plastic.
This project aims to elucidate the catabolic pathway of polyethylene degradation in wax moth, clone and biochemically characterize the cognate gene-enzyme systems and transfer them to black soldier fly-based bioremediation/composting systems.
Your duties will include:
- Designing and carrying out wet laboratorybased experiments on wax moth larvae to elucidate the metabolic pathways of polyethylene degradation and cognate geneenzyme systems.
- Cloning and heterologously expressing the polyethylene degradation genes from wax moth larvae into suitable expression systems.
- Biochemical and enzymatic characterisation of heterologously expressed polyethylene degrading genes.
- Transferring polyethylene degrading genes into black soldier fly and test their efficacy for (micro)plastic degradation.
- Working in close collaboration with emerging Australian black soldier fly industries as and when required.
Location:
Black Mountain, Canberra, ACT
Salary:
AU$92k - AU$101k plus up to 15.4% superannuation
Tenure:
Specified term of 3 years
Reference: 90784
To be considered you will need:
- A doctorate (or will shortly satisfy the requirements of a PhD) in a relevant discipline area, such as enzymology, biochemistry, protein chemistry, molecular biology, microbiology or analytical chemistry
Please note:
To be_ _eligible for this role you must have no more than 3 years (or full-time equivalent) of postdoctoral research experience_.
_- Demonstrated experience in geneenzyme discovery, heterologous gene expression, enzyme purification and their biochemical characterization.
- Excellent written and oral communication skills and an ability to interact socially and scientifically with other postdoctoral scientists and researchers in the laboratory and with collaborators in various networks.
- The ability to represent the research team effectively internally and externally, including the presentation of research outcomes at national and international conferences.
- The ability to work effectively as part of a multidisciplinary, regionally dispersed research team, plus the motivation and discipline to carry out autonomous research.
