About This Opportunity

Synthetic biology is characterised by a cyclic workflow based on the design, build, test, learn paradigm. The emergence of genome-foundries allows for the rapid, but still costly, generation of large numbers of engineered strains. The University of Queensland is establishing a complementary facility to genome-foundries, the Integrated Design Environment for Advanced biomanufacturing (IDEA bio, https: // www. ideabio.org.au/). This facility will consist of a TEST capability that allows for a deep phenomic characterisation of mutant strains, in partnership with Queensland Metabolomics and Proteomics (Q MAP https: // www. qmap.org.au/) and the Australian Genome Foundry (Macquarie University), as well as a LEARN capability that seeks to learn from large ‘omics data sets and direct strain optimisation, pathway optimisation and metabolic engineering to advance synthetic biology efforts in Australia.

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow that specialises in metabolic modelling to join a team of researchers to establish systems biology-based workflows to drive strain design capability of this facility. The position is primarily computationally based and will work with a bioinformatician/data scientist to use modelling and machine-learning approaches to learn from large data sets to inform further strain engineering rounds. Successful candidates will work with customers of the facility which may include researchers and industry.

Key responsibilities include:

1. Research

· Produces quality research outputs consistent with discipline norms by publishing or exhibiting in high quality outlets.

· Participate in applications for competitive research funding to support projects and activities.

· Work with colleagues in the development of joint research projects and applications for competitive research funding support.

· Contribute to progressing towards transfer of knowledge, technology and practices to research end users through translation, including commercialisation of UQ intellectual property.

· Develop a coherent research program and an emerging research profile.

· Review and draw upon best practice research methodologies.

2. Supervision and Researcher Development

· Contribute to the effective supervision of Honours and Higher Degree by Research students (as appropriate).

· Demonstrates personal effectiveness in supervision and the management of researcher development.

· Effective lead and develop supervisee performance and conduct by providing feedback, coaching, and professional development.
