Malaria Vaccine Researcher Position at UQ
5 days ago
This is an exciting research position for a highly motivated and skilled individual to lead a project developing a rationally-designed vaccine against malaria. By taking advantage of recent advances in genomic sequencing, proteomics, transcriptional profiling, and molecular immunology, we have discovered unique targets of T cell responses or antibody responses against malaria.
This NIH-funded project will test these antigens as vaccine candidates by engineering novel vaccine platforms to enhance T cell responses and assessing immunogenicity, protective capacity and biological function in pre-clinical models of malaria. By establishing proof-of-concept for rational vaccine design from genomic data, this project is expected to advance the development of an effective vaccine against malaria with implications for other challenging public health threats.
Key Responsibilities- Establish a research program, collaborate on research projects, seek and manage research funding, publish in reputable journals, utilize best practice research methodologies, and participate in project discussions.
- Supervise students, recruit and manage employees, provide performance feedback and training, resolve conflicts, and ensure correct remuneration and benefits.
- Citizen engagement, leadership through mentoring, internal service roles and committees, administrative functions, support to colleagues, and university values.
We are seeking a highly qualified candidate with a PhD in infectious disease, vaccinology, immunology, biomedical science or related area. The successful candidate will have demonstrated proficiency to carry out high quality research, proven record of professional achievement in the relevant discipline area, experience in mouse models of disease and animal handling, cellular and molecular immunology, including ELISA, FACS, ELIspot, molecular biology expertise, excellent organisational skills, lab management skills, ability to work to tight deadlines, excellent verbal and written communications skills, ability to work independently as well as part of a cohesive team, evidence of peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations.
Benefits- A competitive salary range of $78,871.35 - $105,004.02 per annum, plus 17% Superannuation.
- Base salary will be determined based on qualifications and experience.
- The University of Queensland offers a range of benefits including flexible working arrangements, paid parental leave, annual leave loading, recognition of prior service with other Australian universities, and career progression opportunities.
The University of Queensland (UQ) is a world-renowned institution committed to improving the health of humanity through research and translation. As part of our community, you will have the opportunity to work alongside the brightest minds from around the world and within an environment where interdisciplinary collaborations are encouraged.
