The Role
The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will work in a team supervised by Dr Horst Schirra. The team uses NMR-based metabonomics and systems biology approaches to study the link between genotype and phenotype in health and disease. The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will use NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and bioinformatics to study the link between genotype and phenotype in an obese mouse model on a genetic, metabolomic, and fluxomic level with the aim of developing a systems biology computational model of physiological changes that integrates data from all three experimental project streams. The project is funded by an Australian Research Council grant and a collaboration between SCMB, the Institute for Molecular Bioscience and the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology. Further details on the project are available from Dr Horst Schirra (h.schirra@uq.edu.au).
The Person
The applicant should hold a PhD in the area of NMR spectroscopy, Bioinformatics/Biostatistics, or an equivalent combination of relevant experience and/or education/training. The applicant should have the ability to plan, execute and interpret experiments independently; the ability to work collaboratively with colleagues; high level inter-personal and communication skills; and aptitude for research as demonstrated by publications in high quality international journals.
Remuneration
This is a full-time, fixed term appointment initially for 1 year at Research Academic Level A. The remuneration package will be in the range $64,063 – $68,768 p.a., plus employer superannuation contributions of 17% (total package will be in the range $74,953 - $80,458 p.a.).
