About the position

The mission of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Plants for Space P4S is to deliver innovative solutions for Space habitation and develop improved plant-derived food and bioresources for growing domestic and international markets. P4S aims to create efficient plants and plant products to tackle sustainability challenges in Space and on Earth.

The main goal of this role is to conduct essential research in plant biology within Prof Mathew G Lewsey's lab and the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence in Plants for Space (P4S). Situated at the La Trobe Institute for Sustainable Agriculture and Food (LISAF) in Bundoora, the selected candidate will explore plant hormone interactions and their effects on growth and defense mechanisms.

This research will primarily focus on Arabidopsis as a model, with additional emphasis on tomatoes due to their common cultivation in vertical farms and space environments. The project will leverage wet-lab and computational methods, potentially involving genomics, genetics, single-cell 'omics, and high-throughput plant phenotyping. While proficiency in all these areas is not mandatory, a willingness to learn new techniques and manage extensive datasets is highly beneficial.

Skills and Experience

To qualify for this role, you should have

  • Completion of a Bachelor's degree in relevant disciplines (plant molecular sciences, agricultural science, plant biology, bioinformatics, computational biology), and proof of engagement in advanced studies related to the field.
  • Documented contributions to academic publications, conference papers and reports, or professional and technical projects demonstrating research capabilities.
  • Proficiency in data analysis and modeling, with the ability to amalgamate data from diverse sources of varying quality.
  • Background in molecular biology or computational biology, preferably focusing on plant genetics or genomics.
