CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Bioconjugation Chemistry

 

The Opportunity

  • Do you have a PhD in a relevant discipline area, such as Chemistry?
  • Contribute to a range of bioconjugation projects with external commercial clients for the biomedical industry 
  • Join CSIRO – Australia’s leading scientific research organisation! 

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.

CSIRO Manufacturing is seeking to appoint a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow in the Biomedical Manufacturing Program in the area of bioconjugation chemistry. Working at the intersection of organic, polymer and protein chemistry, the candidate will have expertise in: synthetic organic chemistry, antibody bioconjugation, protein modification and protein purification, polymer chemistry, bioconjugation of small molecules and/or polymers to proteins, conjugation of small molecules to polymers. The successful candidate will be expected to deliver on a range of bioconjugation projects with external commercial clients for the biomedical industry with the potential to develop and learn new capabilities and expertise. 

Your duties will include:

  • Applying organic chemistry, bioconjugation chemistry, protein and polymer chemistry to prepare compounds and materials as required to deliver upon the research goals of the BU, to areas of science as guided by client projects and commercial work that comes into the Biomedical Manufacturing program. 
  • Recognising and exploiting opportunities for innovation and the generation of new theoretical perspectives, and progress opportunities for the further development or creation of new lines of research.
  • Carrying out research investigations requiring originality, creativity and innovation.
  • Recording, managing, and analysing data/information using relevant domain data science techniques.
  • Proactively undertaking development to grow effective researcher capabilities to support career goals.
