The Opportunity
Postdoctoral Fellowships at CSIRO provide opportunities to scientists and engineers, who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years relevant postdoctoral work experience. These fellowships will help launch their careers, provide experience that will enhance their career prospects, and facilitate the recruitment and development of potential leaders for CSIRO.
Applications are invited for the final 13 months of a three year Postdoctoral Fellowship investigating the molecular basis of heat stress tolerance in Symbiodinium microalgae of corals. Coral bleaching is a major problem threatening coral reefs worldwide, including large sections of the Great Barrier Reef. Coral bleaching is caused by a heat stress-induced expulsion of the corals’ algal symbionts, and there is growing evidence that thermal tolerance in the symbionts may contribute to climate resilience in corals. As the Postdoctoral Fellowship, you will combine transcriptomic and metabolomic approaches to achieve a mechanistic understanding of these heat tolerance traits in Symbiodinium.
Your duties will include
Location: Canberra, ACT
Salary: $82K - $93K plus up to 15.4% Superannuation
Tenure: Specified term of 13 months
Reference: 60120
To be successful you will need
Owing to the terms of CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowships, you must have no more than 4.5 years of relevant postdoctoral experience.
