CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Genomics and Advanced Breeding
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.
Genomics continues to rapidly advance biological knowledge across a range of diverse species and to revolutionise breeding activities for more sustainable, resilient and productive plants and animals. Key to achieving accurate and maximal outcomes from such activities is exact and representative data for the species or population under investigation along with customisable and adoptable technologies that can fully harness the available information for the transformation of industry practises and outcomes.
The availability of extensive breeding and genomics data coupled with recent advances in sequencing technologies and CSIRO’s creation of new relevant genomic resources provide the crucial opportunity to uncover new biological knowledge while evolving technology breeding platforms within the aquaculture domain using Tasmanian salmon as the exemplar.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will contribute to the discovery of new genomics understanding, both structural and functional, in Tasmanian salmon and to the utilisation of this information for research into new genomics tools and methodologies to deliver impactful breeding outcomes in salmon while also improving the best practices for the use of genomics in the applied breeding domain more generally.
