CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Antimicrobial Resistance
CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.
The Postdoctoral Fellow (PDF) will work as a member of an interdisciplinary team including bacteriologists, virologists, cell biologists, immunologists and material scientists to address the challenges of AMR in patients that suffer from chronic respiratory diseases. As more antibiotics have become ineffective, the discovery and development of new antimicrobials, including unconventional therapeutics, to treat bacterial infections associated with biofilms and multi-drug resistant bacteria is an urgent unmet need. There are currently no appropriate animal models for human lung diseases to test new antimicrobials. The PDF will establish bacterial infection models using the 3D human tissue culture models of lung diseases to provide a platform for testing emerging antimicrobial technologies synthesized within CSIRO to treat microbial infections. The work may involve travel to the USA to spend time in a collaborator’s laboratory and gain experience on the commercial applications of their science (pending eased travel restrictions).
