CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Immune Signatures for Health and Disease

• Do you have a PhD in immunology, molecular biology, or infectious disease?
• Contribute to the Immune Resilience Future Science Platform
• Join CSIRO – Australia’s leading scientific research organisation!

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 position will form part of the Immune Resilience Future Science Platform (FSP). The Immune Resilience FSP aims to harness the fundamental understanding of the immune system to develop novel strategies and platforms that will build resilience in animals to combat disease and parasite challenges.

CSIRO Health and Biosecurity has successfully developed 3D ex vivo models of the human respiratory tract and intestinal tract for application in various science domains, including infectious disease. We now seek to increase the complexity of these models to include resident immune cells. The successful candidate will join a strong multidisciplinary team within the Molecular Diagnostics Solutions team, to apply ex vivo model systems to improve our understanding of human health.
