CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Genome Engineering and Biocontrol of Rabbits
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.
This project is in the field of genome engineering and involves a unique collaboration with one of Australia’s leading mouse genome engineering facilities at the University of Adelaide, and CSIRO’s Rabbit Biocontrol team at the Black Mountain laboratory in the ACT.
The successful candidate will design, develop and construct rabbit molecular genetic systems with the objective of population growth limitation (alternatives to classically viral biocontrol systems). This will include working with team members from the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness (ACDP), to adapt a CSIRO patented technology to gene delivery to the rabbit system.
