The University of Melbourne would like to acknowledge and pay respect to the Traditional Owners of the lands upon which our campuses are situated, the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung Peoples, the Yorta Yorta Nation, the Dja Dja Wurrung People. We acknowledge that the land on which we meet and learn was the place of age-old ceremonies, of celebration, initiation and renewal, and that the local Aboriginal Peoples have had and continue to have a unique role in the life of these lands.

**About the Department of Anatomy and Physiology**
In January 2021, a consolidation occurred within the School of Biomedical Sciences that amalgamated the former Departments of Anatomy and Neuroscience and Physiology into the Department of Anatomy and Physiology. The three previous departments had long and proud histories and have now come together to produce one department with a remarkable breadth and depth in research expertise, whilst retaining our teaching programs that are widely recognised for our innovation in teaching.

The Department of Anatomy and Physiology's key research themes are neuroscience, metabolism and diabetes, muscle and cell biology. The goal of the combined department is to remain at the forefront of scientific research aimed at understanding the structure and function of the human body in health and disease, employing novel and imaginative research methods.

**About the Role**
An opportunity exists for a PhD qualified research scientist with specialised skills in neuroscience and metabolism. The Research Fellow will undertake research within a team that is funded by NHRMC and ARC research grants to explore the neuronal control of metabolism and its contribution to metabolic diseases such as type-2 diabetes and obesity. These projects are led by A/Prof Garron Dodd.

- Participate in research independently and as a member of a research team
- Perform _in vivo _and _in vitro _research experiments related to metabolism, including but not limited to techniques such as cell culture, molecular biology, RNA/protein extraction, western blotting, quantitative real-time PCR, stereotaxic surgery, immunohistochemistry.
- The co-production of conference and seminar papers and publications and attendance and presentations at conferences and seminars where appropriate
- The steady development of an academic research profile in the area of metabolic neuroscience

**About You**
You possess the proven ability to work with senior researchers to help design, perform and analyse experiments in a timely manner. You demonstrate excellent verbal and written communication skills for effective research collaboration and engagement, as well as the ability to manage competing priorities and excellent time management skills.

You will also have:

- A PhD in neuroscience or relevant discipline
- Experience working with small laboratory animals (including handling, anaesthetisation and surgery) and conducting animal-based research experiments involving animal treatments and monitoring
- Demonstrated proficiency in conducting stereotaxic surgery in mice to deliver adeno-associated viruses to specific brain regions.
- Demonstrated experience and expertise in immunohistochemistry/immunofluorescence, molecular biology, RNA extraction and quantitative real-time PCR; protein extraction, gel electrophoresis, immunohistochemistry and western blot techniques
- Strong evidence of ability and desire to build an academic career trajectory
