**Who are we looking for?**

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join School of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health, Academic Division.

This position will complete a commercial contract. The research skills required to complete this project are small rodent animal handling and experimentation skill, multi-colour flow cytometry experimentation and analysis, standard cell culture, molecular skills. This is a time sensitive project that requires someone experienced in these skills so that training time is reduced/eliminated. The level of skills required are commensurate with an experienced postdoctoral research fellow, or someone who has recently completed their PhD in a very similar field.

**Real world impact**

QUT is a major Australian university with a global outlook and a 'real world' focus. We are an ambitious and collaborative institution that seeks to equip our students and graduates with the skills they will need in an increasingly disrupted and challenged world.

**About the area**
- The School of Biomedical Sciences provides innovative undergraduate degree programs in Medical Laboratory Science and Biomedical Science. Our Biomedical Science degree pathway also offers undergraduate students the option to enrol in double degrees with Law, Business and Mathematics. Teaching is carried out in contemporary learning spaces and laboratories, building on our reputation for emphasising the acquisition of practical skills as well as theoretical instruction.
Undergraduate students are also encouraged to engage in Work Integrated Learning and Vacation Research programs and gain further early experience in research through our postgraduate Honours program. The School also operates a postgraduate degree program in Diagnostic Genomics and has recently launched a new vertical degree, B. Biomedical Science/Master of Data Analytics. We are actively developing further postgraduate programs that bridge aspiring students to our research programs.
The School’s research program has undergone an extensive reorganisation, resulting in the launch of major Centres focused on the delivery of inter-disciplinary research programs. Our researchers and higher degree research students enjoy world class facilities across our own campus and collaborative research institutes, enabling our close alignment to healthcare, translational opportunities, and industry drivers. Our current areas of research strength include:

- Cancer
- Immunology and Infection Control
- Genomics and Personalised Health
- Microbiome Research

Our research is supported by close inter-Faculty collaboration with other major research strengths including data science, cell and tissue engineering, and biomedical technology.
These research areas contribute to specialty undergraduate teaching and development of a research-informed curriculum in Anatomical Sciences, Physiology, Cell and Molecular Biology, Human Biochemistry, and Infectious Diseases.

**What you need to succeed**

**_ Essential_**
- Successful completion of a PhD in the area of immunology, vaccinology, microbiology or similar.
