Job description:
Research Fellow/Senior Research Fellow in Microbial Ecology (Level B/C)
Plant Functional Biology and Climate Change Cluster (C3)
A position at UTS is one of influence, recognition, reward and work-life balance.The Plant Functional Biology and Climate Change Cluster (C3) brings together a core group of expert plant physiologists, ecologists, biological and physical modellers and specialist remote sensing researchers, with the aim of improving and enhancing predictions about the impacts of climate change on natural ecosystems. Working at multiple scales, from cellular to regional, in forest, coastal and estuarine ecosystems, this unique group’s targeted research approach builds on their internationally recognised work into areas including:
• Understanding the physiological trigger of coral bleaching• Climatic influences on aquatic biodiversity• Vulnerability of Antarctic ecosystems to climate change
We are looking for a microbial ecologist working at the intersection of molecular (genomic/proteomic/biochemical) expression in protist diversity (species or communities) and their functional response to climate change. The person will have a background in molecular microbiology and aquatic ecology. Knowledge of gene regulation, molecular probes, antibodies, quantification of metabolic proteins, protein interactions, bioinformatics, advanced microscopy (live imaging), screening, isolation and culturing are highly advantageous.We would be looking for opportunities where other members of the C3 aquatic team could contribute to your research through a deeper understanding of biogeochemical processes, gas exchange, bioenergetics and ecosystem models of microbial consortia (eg symbiosis, biofilms or pelagic communities).
The appointee will be expected to provide research leadership and build research capacity in this research domain and seek funding from external sources, with support of the Research and Innovation Office. A key requirement for the appointee is to foster international and national links with research groups and with industry, government, professions and community organisations. A very good publication record for the stage in career is critical. Demonstrated experience in working in multi-disciplinary teams is desirable.
Salary range: Level B $73,149 to $86,846 pa.Level C $89,551 to $103,086 pa.The University offers salary packaging plus attractive superannuation.
