Postdoctoral Fellow

Study genetic determinants of climate resilience in algae through the Golden Genome project supported by Revive and Restore. The work involves constructing insertional deletion libraries in microalgae, developing transformation approaches for the kelp Ecklonia radiata, and maintaining and cryopreserving algal cultures. The project combines molecular methods and CRISPR-based editing with marine climate-resilience research. This two-year, full-time appointment is based in Sydney. Salary: AUD 118,000–126,000 plus 17% superannuation and annual leave loading. Applications close on 5 November 2026.

Relevant PhD or research experience, expertise in molecular biology, and experience with microalgal culture and transformation. Applicants should demonstrate independent research, publications and collaborative working.
