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.

Specifically, the Postdoctoral Fellow will undertake research to characterize the function of selected members of a unique family of plant proteins designated MILDEW RESISTANCE LOCUS O (MLO) proteins that have been demonstrated to act as host susceptibility factors during infection by the economically important pathogen, powdery mildew. The project will also seek to identify proteins secreted by the powdery mildew fungus, during infection, that target these host MLO proteins to suppress host defences.

Specifically you will:



  • Undertake functional analysis of plant disease-susceptibility proteins;

  • Identify fungal proteins that interact with plant disease-susceptibility proteins;

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