**The opportunity**:

- **Launch your career at Australia’s National Research Organisation**:

- **Great opportunity for an early career researcher with a PhD in quantitative or statistical genetics, biostatistics, data science, computational biology, genomics or plant breeding.**:

- **Join the CSIRO Agriculture & Food Breeding Innovations Group**

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. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.

CSIRO Agriculture & Food's Breeding Innovations Group requires a forward-thinking Quantitative/Statistical geneticist to join the CSIRO Cotton Breeding Program.

**Your duties will include**:

- Carry out innovative, impactful research of strategic importance to CSIRO that will, where possible, lead to novel and important scientific outcomes.
- Designing and implementing robust statistical approaches and computational pipelines to model the relationships between cotton genotypes and their field-based phenotypes (yield and fibre quality) from rainfed production systems across various growing seasons and environments.
- Recognise and utilise opportunities for innovation and the generation of new theoretical perspectives, and progress opportunities for the further development or creation of new lines of research.
- Analysis of prediction accuracies of genomic selection models for different cotton agronomic traits and the refinement of the models or approaches to incorporate environment, pedigree, phenomics and additional -omic data.
- Record, manage, and analyse cotton genotype and phenotype data as well as pedigree, environmental, additional phenomic and other omic data sets. This will require close collaboration with the teams generating the data to ensure that it remains relevant for both conventional and advanced genetic approaches to cotton improvement.

**Location**: Canberra, ACT

**Salary**: AU$96k - AU$105k plus up to 15.4% superannuation

**Tenure**: Specified term of 3 years

**Reference**: 98435

Please note: To be_ _eligible for this role you must have no more than 3 years (full-time equivalent) of postdoctoral research experience_._
- Demonstrated skills in the handling and analysis of large biological datasets, including estimating genomic relatedness, conducting phenotype genotype association analysis, and predicting phenotype outcomes using high-dimensional statistical predictive models.
- An understanding of and experience with statistical and machine learning methods for phenotype prediction based on high dimensional genomic data such as high dimensional linear and non-linear regression, random forest, Gaussian process model, neural network and deep learning.
- Evidence of advanced programming skills in languages and statistical software packages relevant to biostatistics and bioinformatics (e.g. R, Python, SAS or equivalent).
