The Position
CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and, in this case, have less than four years relevant postdoctoral work experience.
Gene delivery including the delivery of siRNA, miRNA and plasmid DNA is benefitting from the development of novel platform technologies including nanoparticles, nanowire arrays and immunogenes. This research program is investigating porous silicon nanoparticles, silicon nanowire arrays and polymeric immunogenes for the transfer of genes into cells in vitro and in vivo. The research will focus on brain tumours as well as bone/cartilage regeneration.
This postdoctoral fellow will answer several important scientific questions and develop key platform capabilities: how to optimise nanowire arrays for plasmid delivery; how to optimise delivery of siRNA and miRNA using porous silicon nanoparticles; how to prepare immunogenes for delivery of genes encoding for e.g. BMP2.
Your duties will include:
