Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Monash University. Full time

About the Opportunity

We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic PhD researcher to join our dynamic and supportive research team at the Australian Centre for Blood Diseases, within the Alfred Research Alliance. Our laboratory is a collaboration between Monash University and iCamuno Biotherapeutics, an innovative biotech company that is developing cell therapies from induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs).

About iPSCs

iPSCs are stem cells that have the advantage of being able to develop into over 200 human cell types. For example, iPSCs can be made to develop into neural tissues to treat brain disorders or into pancreatic cells to treat diabetes. Moreover, the function of iPSCs can be enhanced through genome editing. For example, human leukocyte antigens can be deleted to prevent rejection of iPSC-derived cells, or growth factors can be expressed to promote their survival and function.

About the Research

We are focused on improving methods for reprogramming, gene editing and cell differentiation to make improved iPSC-based cell therapies for a range of diseases, including Neural disorders, Ophthalmic diseases, Osteoarthritis and Cancer. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop a research area of their own and work as part of a team to achieve breakthroughs in the developing field of stem cell therapy.

About You

To be successful in this role, you will have:

  • A strong background in immunology, cell biology, developmental biology, genetics or a related discipline
  • Experience in cell biology and/or tissue culture, with a strong understanding of cell characterization methods and technologies
  • Experience with multi-omic data processing, analysis or integration is an advantage
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Demonstrated analytical and problem-solving skills

About Monash University

Monash University is a world top 50 university that values difference and diversity, and welcomes and celebrates everyone's contributions, lived experience and expertise. We are committed to creating an inclusive and respectful workplace culture where everyone is supported to succeed.
