Academic Level: Level A fixed term (3 years)

School/Office:Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment

College/Division: Research and Development Division

The HIE conducts research on the impacts of environmental change on terrestrial biota from genes to ecosystems (http://www.uws.edu.au/hie). The Institute includes 44 academic staff who are supported by 20 skilled technical and support staff. The Institute offers comprehensive field, controlled-environment and laboratory research facilities and is based on the Hawkesbury campus of UWS in Richmond, close to the city of Sydney. The research will be undertaken as part of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Translational Photosynthesis, which seeks to develop and harness advances in photosynthesis research, crop bioengineering, plant phenomics and computational tools to open new routes for the next revolution in plant productivity.

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Plant Molecular Biology (Photosynthesis) to identify genes controlling flux through C4 photosynthesis using comparative genomic and RNA-seq analysis of C4 crops and closely-related C3, C4 and intermediate grass species. The research will serve the strategic goal of improving photosynthesis in key agricultural crops. The successful applicant will have demonstrated relevant research experience in plant molecular biology with a desirable focus on aspects of photosynthesis.
