About This Opportunity

An opportunity has arisen for a Research Fellow to engage in research to further their expertise and growing research profile to achieve national and international recognition in their discipline. At this level it is expected that in incumbent will efficiently manage service and engagement roles and activities.

A Postdoctoral Research Fellow will focus efforts on conducting research to improve digestive health by exploring the pathophysiology and effects of interventions targeting the gut microbiome. The Fellow will work in a multiprofessional team of gastroenterologists, basic scientists (microbiologists), and allied health staff utilising state-of-the-art technologies and solid knowledge of relevant computational methods. The translational research complements other clinical and basic science projects.

The candidate is expected to understand the roles of the human microbiota in health and disease; is prepared to engage, in a variety of activities including preparation of applications for external funding, publishing outcomes in high-quality outlets, and contributing to the supervision of honours, postgraduate students, and professional staff. At this level it is expected that the incumbent will contribute to service and engagement roles and activities.

As research focused academic at level A the incumbent will be supported and guided by more senior academic research staff with the expectation of an increasing degree of autonomy over time.

Key responsibilities include:Research

  Conduct high quality research to analyse the responses of individual and defined mixtures of microbes to environmental and nutritional cues, to assess their impacts on host response

  Use “omics-based” approaches to further our understanding of microbial physiology, metabolism and/or ecology

  Use mammalian cell culture methods to support assessment of their response to microbial-derived cues

  Provide support to ongoing and new research projects in basic science and clinical studies

  Develop a research program aligned with existing research programs at the Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology at the Princess Alexandra Hospital to achieve national recognition and impact in the research area.

  Produces and contribute to quality research outputs consistent with discipline norms by publishing or exhibiting in national research journals, other appropriate refereed publications and conference publications, with a lead role in some outputs.

  PhD in biological science, or a related field

  Demonstrated expertise in molecular microbiology methods, including the development, preparation, and utilization of techniques for the isolation of fastidious microbes, from clinical and/or animal specimens.

  Experience in utilising a number of core technologies and “omics-based approaches” including quantitative PCR, tissue and specimen processing for the isolation of DNA, RNA, or proteins, recombinant DNA techniques,

  Expertise in data analysis and basic biostatistics, including various work  packages in support of microbiome data analysis and interpretation

  A growing profile in research in the discipline area.

  A developing reputation and track record of publications in reputed refereed journals and presenting at conferences.

  Evidence of successfully seeking, obtaining and managing external research funding.

  A growing record of supervision of Honours and Research Higher Degree students to successful completion.
