Who are we looking for?

We are seeking a Senior Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Microbial Bioinformatics to join School of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health.

Increasing evidence supports the role of the gut-brain axis—a bidirectional communication network between the gut and the central nervous system—in several aspects of cognition, social behaviour, anxiety and stress. The Cognitive Gut project, funded by the Australian Defence Science and Technology Fund, aims to investigate the complex relationship between the gut microbiome, cognitive performance, mental health, diet and stress among Australian military personnel. We have identified several lead candidates associated with improved health and performance, which we are now advancing into preclinical studies to evaluate their influence on the gut-brain axis. Ultimately, this research will support the development of new strategies to prevent or restore cognitive impairment and improve the health of both Australian Defence members and the general public. The successful candidate will join this exciting project to lead the bioinformatic characterisation of microbiome samples from Defence cohorts and preclinical models. This will include evaluating the relationship between the gut microbiome, cognitive performance and other health metrics in response to microbiome-targeted interventions.

Who are we looking for?

We are seeking a Senior Postdoctoral Research Fellow - Human Microbiome to join School of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Health.

Microorganisms have a profound influence on biological, environmental, and industrial processes, but understanding the complex dynamics of microbial communities and how to manipulate them to our advantage remains a challenge. CMR Director Professor Gene Tyson has recently been awarded a prestigious ARC Laureate Fellowship that aims to overcome current technological limitations and transform microbial ecology from a descriptive to a predictive science. This will be achieved using as a model the most intensively studied ecosystem on the planet: the human gut microbiome. The Fellowship program will deliver new tools for integrated meta-omic analysis, a biobank featuring thousands of novel microorganisms from the human gut, and machine learning models to predict how entire microbial communities will respond to changes in their environment. The successful candidate will join this exciting project to drive new methods in i) microbial protein annotation and ii) characterising how microbial communities respond to environmental changes (e.g., diet or therapeutics). The role is open to a broad range of applicants with experience in human microbiome research, including in fields such as microbiology, multi-omics analysis, biochemistry, synthetic biology and immunology.
