This position is for up to 24 months and will work closely with leading Research Scientists in their respective field. The postdoc will carry out innovative, impactful research of strategic importance to CSIRO with the possibility of novel and important scientific outcomes. Findings will be presented in appropriate publications and at conferences.
Grain and legume-based foods with elevated levels of total dietary fibre and protein are increasingly recognised as a means to address rapidly emerging diet related diseases such as diabetes, bowel and cardio vascular disorders. New breeding approaches have been successful to significantly enhance functional components such as high dietary fibre and protein in wheat and barley, which could play an important role in regulating intestinal microbiome and inflammation, resulting in better health and wellbeing. However, the delivery of health benefits to humans through these modified cereal grains will largely depend on how these grains are converted into food products of consumer preference.
