Job Description:
The Department of Microbiology is seeking to appoint a postdoctoral fellow to a research collaboration between the Vijay and Lithgow laboratories in the Biomedicine Discovery Institute at Monash University, Melbourne. The research projects aim to understand the processes governing the evolution of anti-microbial resistance. The postdoc will be involved in the generation of bacterial genomes using Next-Generation Sequencing and application of phylogenetic, statistical and bioinformatics methods. This research will entail conducting independent and high-quality scientific research, using bacterial genomes derived globally from clinical and veterinary specimens and associated environments. You will work with members of both teams, and collaborators, to incorporate sequence and associated metadata within the phylogenetic framework and apply these methods to research problems in the evolution of anti-microbial resistance. You will be expected to contribute to and develop research projects within the research team, and produce high-quality, high-impact publications. Our research is interdisciplinary, involving substantial global collaboration with microbiologists, immunologists and clinicians to better understand infectious disease dynamics, and to inform control strategies. A PhD and track record in biology, statistics, mathematics, computer science, or computational biology is essential. The ideal candidate will also have strong programming and data analysis skills and experience in the curation and analysis of large genome datasets generated through Next-Generation Sequencing. This role is a full-time position; however, flexible working arrangements may be negotiated.
