Research Fellow – Recombinant Protein Expression at The University of Western Australia (Perth)

Job Description

You will undertake innovative approaches involving the development of genetic constructs and strategies to express specific recombinant proteins in plant and other model systems and purify them to study their biological role and synthesis and degradation characteristics. Your work will contribute to wider projects in determining key determinants of steady state protein abundance in plants for both fundamental understanding of mechanisms and applied goals in plant protein production. You will also have the opportunity to co-supervise several PhD students conducting a range of aligned research projects.

About you

You have keen interest in recombinant protein expression, function and its regulation and want to develop your career by making research breakthroughs in this field. You are a motivated team player and are willing to support and help others.

To be considered for this role, you will demonstrate:

PhD in molecular biology, genetics or a related discipline

Experience in molecular biology techniques required for cloning and gene construct design and development

Experience in plant, yeast and/or E. coli transformation and analysis

Experience in plant biology and undertaking plant-based experiments

Experience in project management

Strong computing and data management skills

Evidence of a strong track record in high quality scientific publication and experience in preparing manuscripts for publication

Evidence of good supervision of post graduate students
