  • Contribute to research impact: communicate outcomes to stakeholders, including academic peers, policymakers, and the public.
Requirements
  • Completion of a doctoral qualification in a relevant field with experience as a laboratory-based researcher;
  • Foundational knowledge of molecular biology, genetics, and pharmacology. Expertise in neurotransmitter receptors or parasitology is desirable;
  • Demonstrated ability in molecular/cellular biology techniques, including RNA preparation, cDNA synthesis, PCR, molecular cloning, plasmid preparation, mutagenesis, DNA sequencing, and in vitro transcription of mRNA;
  • Experience in designing and implementing in vitro or in vivo insecticide/miticide assays;
  • Refereed publications and evidence of quality outputs with clear attribution of individual contributions;
  • External funding awarded in the last five years (internal grants considered for fellowship applicants);
  • Esteem measures such as keynote talks, invitations to present, prizes/awards, and committee memberships;
  • Technology transfer and outreach activities (including engagement with external partners);
  • Supervision of research students (considerations include supervision of higher degree research students and completions).
