Job Description

Are you passionate about creating a positive impact through innovation?

Exciting opportunity to kick-start your career in a professional and supportive leading scientific agency

Join our team at CSIRO - Australia's premier science & technology research organisation!

The Position:
CSIRO offers PhD graduates an opportunity to launch their scientific careers through our Office of the Chief Executive (OCE) Postdoctoral Fellowships. Successful applicants will work with leaders in the field of science and receive personal development and learning opportunities.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will work closely with a Brisbane based team of bioinformaticists, geneticists, genomicists and system biologists to address a key goal of evolutionary genomics: to identify DNA sequence that has been changed by selection. The OCE Postdoctoral Fellow will be involved in a project with two key advantages. Firstly, access has been pre-arranged with an international collaborative network to collate genome scale data from across the farm-yard animal species. This will augment collections of sheep and cattle genomes that have been collected by the CSIRO team. Secondly, the project aims to develop and apply novel analytical methodologies for the interrogation of genome sequences. We anticipate the result will be an increased understanding of the biological processes that underpin breed specialisation, productivity and adaptation of animals to their environment.

Specifically you will:

Assemble available genome sequences from across a range of livestock species for analysis, and perform variant detection.

Implement available and emerging methodologies for detecting signatures of selection. This will include haplotype based methods, and a novel approach under development within the group (see Hudson et al., BMC Bioinformatics 2014 15:66).

Carry out innovative, impactful research of strategic importance to CSIRO that will where possible lead to novel and important scientific outcomes, and produce papers suitable for publication
