Who are we looking for?

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Gut Microbiome Specialist and Microbial Ecologist to join School of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health.

The successful applicant will be creating a thorough mechanistic understanding on the microbiological, biochemical and genetic processes that cause methanogenesis in the cow rumen. These activities will identify core beneficial microbiota that are critical to cow performance and methane production across different breeds of animals, diets and management practices, which is essential to accelerate development of microbiome-based interventions that benefit animal production and reduce its carbon footprint. Focal research areas will include generating and analysing complex microbiome “omic” datasets to create an inventory of microbial genomes and lists of expressed metabolic features that are signature for the keystone microorganisms that drive rumen function. It is expected that this will formulate a dedicated “wish-list” of microbial targets that will guide cultivation work that uses CMR’s world leading high-throughput cultivation platform. To further characterise core microbiota, they will design and implement synthetic consortia to focus on core metabolic features that drive rumen digestion and methane formation.

About us

QUT is a major Australian university with a global outlook and a 'real world' focus. We are an ambitious and collaborative institution that seeks to equip our students and graduates with the skills they will need in an increasingly disrupted and challenged world.
