CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Microbial Strain Improvement
CSIRO acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, sea and waters, of the area that we live and work on across Australia. We acknowledge their continuing connection to their culture and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. View our?vision towards reconciliation.
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 falls within the CSIRO Agriculture and Food Pests and Diseases Group, that is part of the Traits Program. This is a dynamic program that develops and deploys traits to industry to sustain and enhance agriculture within Australia and across the globe. The Pests and Diseases Group works on solutions to major yield-limiting pest and disease problems of crops, with a focus on broad acre farming systems.
In this project, the successful candidate will develop a biosensor-guided strain improvement platform to accelerate the domestication and improved efficacy of non-model biocontrol microbes and their production of fungicidal biomolecules for crop protection. This is an exciting opportunity to work within world class molecular and synthetic biology laboratories, and to genomics, metabolomics, fermentation, and plant growth facilities to design-build-test your platform and deliver real-world solutions for disease control.
