CSIRO Winanga-y Postdoctoral Fellowship in Bioactive Peptide Research

• Do you have a PhD in bioinformatics, data science (including ML/AI), analytical biochemistry (including proteomics)?
• Utilise your skills in this exciting project relating to bioactive peptide discovery
• Join the CSIRO Agriculture & Food team in this 3 year postdoctoral role

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.

We are thrilled to be able to deliver on the commitment we made in our strategy to invest in frontier science with the CSIRO Agriculture & Food Winanga-y Postdoctoral Fellowship scheme. The word Winanga-y (pronounced win-na-gnay) is a cultural asset gifted by the Gomeroi Nation in Myall Vale to CSIRO’s Agriculture and Food Business Unit to name the Postdoctoral Fellowship Scheme. Winanga-y means to understand, know, remember, and think.

As a CERC Fellow within CSIRO working in the Agriculture & Food Business Unit and collaborating with scientists in the ARC Centre of Excellence for Innovations in Peptide and Protein Science (CIPPS), you will be supported by senior research scientists on an exciting project relating to bioactive peptide discovery. You will combine AI and peptidomics to exploit Nature’s repertoire of health-enhancing biomolecules, with a vision for food as a delivery vehicle for health enhancement.
