These foundation postdoctoral appointments in Plant Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Synthetic Biology will allow you to start your career in an internationally recognised program of research. You will be mentored in the laboratory of Professor Harvey Millar, Professor Ryan Lister or Professor Ian Small and engage in engage in collaborative research projects across P4S University collaborators and with Industry partners. You will take part in supervising students in high quality postgraduate teaching programmes and in educational outreach activities, and be involved in translation of fundamental biomolecular science to provide innovative solutions to the future of plant use on earth and beyond.

Specific projects you could focus on include:

-Increasing plant protein content with better amino acid balance for human nutrition for space agriculture as caloric replacement and for Earth in higher protein plant food development.
-Building of Synbio parts and tools for using plant chloroplasts as protein production factories (for producing high value therapeutics such as edible vaccines and antibodies, and useful biomolecules such as enzymes).
-Modifying target plants for better hypoxia/low oxygen tolerance to overcome the effect of water clinging to plants in microgravity and better adaptation to hydroponics for virtual farming.
-Synthesizing materials and medicines in plants at scale and/or on demand, such as antibodies, analgesics, neutraceuticals, or plastics precursors.
-Engineering plants for sophisticated spatiotemporal and conditional control of biosynthetic pathway activity, for example tissue or cell type specific production upon chemical/temperature/light induction.
-High resolution and high throughput ‘omics’ analyses of plants to guide biosynthetic pathway engineering and characterize effect upon cellular processes.

To be considered for one of these positions, you must completed or be near completion (3 months or under for submission) a PhD in plant biochemistry, molecular biology, or genetics. You will also have a track record of research output and capabilities in plant biology and molecular sciences. You will possess the ability to work both independently and co-operatively with collaborators and as part of a team.

Full details of the responsibilities of these positions and the selection criteria are outlined in the position description. In preparing your application, you are asked to demonstrate clearly that you meet the selection criteria and indicate your particular focus and relevant skills in a two-page cover letter and a current curriculum vitae in support of your application.

There will also be additional roles with P4S available in the upcoming months, including PhD studentships in Western Australia and post-doctoral researcher, research assistant and PhD studentships in Victoria and South Australia in multiple other disciplines. Please email contact@plants4space.com for more details.

You may also submit an additional statement (1 page max) outlining any personal circumstances which should be considered when assessing your application. Applicants who have experienced periods of academic/professional interruption or other relevant events can include a description of achievements relative to opportunity in this statement.

Closing date: Monday, 8 January 2024

This position is open to international applicants.

Research Officer (Molecular Biology/Malaria Parasitology)

Employment Type: Full time (35 hour a week)

Duration: 1-year Fixed Term contract

Remuneration: $96K - $103K p.a. (+17% superannuation and leave loading)

Location: Kensington, NSW

The Organisation
The School of Biomedical Sciences (SBMS) within the Faculty of Medicine & Health is one of the largest teaching and research intensive Schools at UNSW. It is a vibrant School, a place of work for over 240 staff, more than 150 higher degree students, and many thousands of undergraduate students. As well as its location in the Wallace Wurth building the School is physically linked to the Mark Wainwright Analytical Centre, which includes access to advanced imaging equipment through the Katharina Gaus Light Microscopy Facility as well as flow cytometry. SBMS also maintains close linkages with the Lowy Cancer Research Centre, the Kirby Institute, the Biological Sciences Building and Single Molecule Science.

The Baum lab (www.baumlab.com) within SBMS aims to translate fundamental discoveries in parasite biology into interventions that will aid the control and eventual eradication of malaria; the lab is passionate about fundamental discovery research, point-of-care diagnostics and the long-hoped for dream of an efficacious, easy to deploy malaria vaccine.

Why this role matters

The position will provide technical and research assistance to senior research staff in activities associated with various elements of research projects, including contribution and application of knowledge in the field of molecular biology, parasitology and computational biology within the School of Biomedical Sciences, the Faculty of Medicine & Health, UNSW Sydney.

Your skills and experience:

A university degree in biological, biomedical, biotechnological or computer-science or a related discipline, or an equivalent level of knowledge gained through a combination of education, training or experience.
Direct experience in advanced molecular biology techniques (including PCR, gel electrophoresis, DNA extraction and design of primers & preferably LAMP), advanced malaria parasitology experience (including in vitro culture of malaria parasites and their interaction with mosquitoes in a lab setting) and/or direct experience of computational approaches for protein structure design and analysis (including the coding of an application of AlphaFold or other related deep learning approaches to protein structure).
Knowledge of research protocols, experimental design and planning as involved in developing research projects and reporting against milestones.
Experience working with a range of computer systems and applications, including LabArchives or other alternative data storage systems.
