Candidates must hold full rights to work in Australia to be considered for this position.
ResponsibilitiesUnder the supervision of Senior Lecturer Dr Deborah Burnett, this Post-Doctoral Fellow position offers a unique opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research investigating how the adaptive immune system recognises and responds to foreign and self-antigens. The successful candidate will employ a broad suite of immunological and molecular tools—such as flow cytometry, cell culture, single-cell RNA sequencing, data analysis and in vivo models—to interrogate B cell responses in human samples and pre-clinical systems.

- Demonstrated technical experience in techniques relevant to exploration of the adaptive immune response including processing and analysing human and/or animal samples, multi-colour flow cytometry, cell sorting, ELISA, PCR, molecular cloning and RNA sequencing workflows (e.g., single-cell or bulk).
- High attention to detail and excellent record keeping in both laboratory notebooks and digital data management systems.
- Ability to work independently, take scientific initiative, and drive projects forward, while also contributing effectively to a collaborative team environment.
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, including the ability to build professional relationships with collaborators, students, and technical staff.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, and capacity to learn new techniques.
- High levels of emotional intelligence, with a professional, respectful, and self-aware approach to teamwork and collaboration.
- Experience in managing mouse colonies, including ethical and procedural compliance.
- Prior experience working in a research team studying B cell biology, immune tolerance, or autoimmune mechanisms.
- Experience with bioinformatics pipelines for analysing transcriptomic or repertoire sequencing data.
