**The Opportunity**
Are you passionate about cutting-edge research and scientific discovery? The Flanagan Laboratory at Monash University is seeking a dedicated Research Fellow to join our team. As a Level A research-only academic, you’ll play a crucial role in advancing our understanding of gastrointestinal stem cells and their role in health and disease.
About the Flanagan Laboratory: Led by Dr Dustin Flanagan, our lab investigates the molecular regulation of gastrointestinal stem cells. We explore the intricate cross-talk between stomach stem cells and their surrounding niche, particularly in disease states such as cancer and inflammation. Our multidisciplinary approach combines immunolabelling (immunohistochemistry, RNAscope), confocal microscopy, mouse models, organoid cultures (both mouse and human), flow cytometry, and gene profiling techniques (qPCR, bulk RNA sequencing, scRNA sequencing, and spatial transcriptomics).
**Key Responsibilities**
- **Research Excellence**:Conduct original, high-level research under limited supervision from the lab head. Collaborate with team members (staff and students) and independently contribute to defined research projects
- **Publication and Dissemination**:Contribute to the production of scholarly publications, including manuscript writing and figure preparation. Present your findings at national and international conferences and seminars
**Additional Responsibilities**
- Lead research projects related to gastrointestinal stem cells
- Manage mouse colonies and oversee student supervision
- Design and execute experiments, ensuring rigorous scientific methodology
- Write grant proposals to secure external funding
**Qualifications**
- PhD in a relevant field (e.g., cell biology, molecular biology, or related disciplines)
- Strong expertise in stem cell research, microscopy and molecular techniques
- Excellent communication skills for presenting research findings and collaborating with colleagues
- Skills/experience processing and analysing RNAseq, scRNAseq datasets will be advantageous.
- Animal surgery skills (e.g. orthotopic transplant) would be advantageous
