  职位描述

  *你是一个对锈病对小麦生产的影响感兴趣的早期职业科学家吗?

  *你是否拥有或即将获得分子-植物-病原体相互作用的博士学位?

  *加入CSIRO农业与食品部的防锈研究小组

  位置

  CSIRO早期研究生涯(CERC)博士后奖学金为完成博士学位的科学家和工程师提供了机会,在这种情况下,他们的博士后相关工作经验不足三年零九个月。

  博士后研究员将与PeterDodds博士合作,作为抗锈病研究小组的一部分,该小组的目标是防止因锈病影响而造成的小麦产量损失。了解植物免疫的基本方面,是本研究计划的一个重要组成部分。该研究员的研究将研究植物免疫受体和病原体效应器的结构和功能特征。该研究组在亚麻锈病模型系统的研究领域做出了重要贡献,但最近从小麦中鉴定出几种抗茎锈病基因以及小麦茎锈病病原体的相应效应物,为我们进一步了解目前在小麦育种中使用的重要基因提供了机会。或疾病保护。

  博士后研究员将是CSIRO农业与食品的一个大型多学科团队的一员,该团队包括澳大利亚国立大学和昆士兰大学的合作者,他们在植物抗病领域的前沿开展研究,并拥有高影响力出版物的良好记录。博士后研究员将受益于在世界领先的团队中工作,并通过接触广泛的科学背景,从基础生物学到科学研究的应用交付,以实现行业成果。

  Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)

  Location: Canberra, Australia

  Job Number: 7056571 (Ref #: 60540)

  Posting Date: Mar 21, 2019

  Application Deadline: Apr 21, 2019

  Job Description

  * Are you an early career scientist with interest in the impact of rust diseases on wheat production?

  * Do you have, or will shortly obtain, a PhD in molecular plant pathogen interactions?

  * Join our Rust Resistance Research Group within CSIRO Agriculture & Food

  The Position

  CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and, in this case, have less than three years and nine months relevant postdoctoral work experience.

  The Postdoctoral Fellow will work with Dr Peter Dodds as part of the rust resistance research group, whose goals are to prevent losses in wheat production due to the impact of rust diseases. Understanding the fundamental aspects of plant immunity, is a key component of the research program. The Fellow’s research will investigate structural and functional characteristics of plant immune receptors and pathogen effectors. The group has made important contributions to this field working on the flax rust model system, but recent identification of several stem rust resistance genes from wheat and corresponding effectors from wheat stem rust pathogen, provides opportunities to extend our understanding to important genes that are currently being used in wheat breeding for disease protection.

  The Postdoctoral Fellow will be part of a large multidisciplinary team at CSIRO Agriculture & Food involving collaborators at the Australian National University and the University of Queensland conducting research at the leading edge of the field of plant disease resistance and with a strong record of high impact publications. The Postdoctoral Fellow will benefit from working within a world leading team and through exposure to a broad scientific context spanning the spectrum from basic biology to applied delivery of science research to achieve industry outcomes.

  Your duties will include:

  Under the direction of senior research scientists and engineers, the CERC Postdoctoral Fellow will:

  - Carry out innovative, impactful research of strategic importance to CSIRO that will, where possible, lead to novel and important scientific outcomes.

  - Contribute to a research program aimed at understanding the molecular mechanisms of wheat rust resistance.

  - Undertake regular reviews of relevant literature and patents.

  - Communicate results through regular team meetings and group level presentations.

  - Prepare appropriate conference papers and present those at conferences as agreed with the supervisor.

  Location: Black Mountain, ACT

  Salary: AU$82k- AU$93k plus up to 15.4% superannuation

  Tenure: 2 years and 3 months

  Reference: 60540

  To be successful you will need:

  - A doctorate (or will shortly satisfy the requirements of a PhD) in a relevant discipline area, such as molecular plant pathogen interactions. Please note: To be eligible for this role you must have no more than 3 years and nine months (or part time equivalent) of postdoctoral research experience.

  - Detailed knowledge and research experience in molecular plant-pathogen interactions.

  - Experience in applying structural and/or molecular biology approaches to investigate protein function in the context of their contribution to overall biological processes.

  - A record of science innovation and creativity, including the ability & willingness to incorporate novel ideas and approaches into scientific investigations.

  - High level written and oral communication skills with the ability to represent the research team effectively internally and externally, including publishing in peer reviewed journals and/or authorship of scientific papers, reports, and presenting at national and/or international conferences.
