  *   Two exciting opportunities are available in the fields of
      computational genomics and functional genomics.
  *   Join The University of Melbourne's School of BioSciences.

The School of BioSciences at the University of Melbourne is seeking
two enthusiastic and collaborative academic colleagues with expertise
in genomics.

One appointment will focus on computational and/or computational synthetic
genomics, while the other will specialise in functional or synthetic
genomics (wet-lab-based research).

Applicants interested in plant, insect, and microbial systems or using
established model systems from these taxonomic groups are particularly
encouraged to apply.

As part of our commitment to diversity, at least one successful appointee
will be female.

Both positions offer opportunities for research, teaching, and service
components, with potential affiliation with the Melbourne Institute of
Genomics and close interaction with the ARC Centre of Excellence in The
Mathematical Analysis of Cellular Systems.

Your responsibilities will include:

  *   Undertake internationally competitive independent and/or team-
      based research, resulting in diverse research outputs such as peer-
      reviewed publications, patents, license agreements, government
      reports, and scholarly materials for teaching and learning.
  *   Contribute to teaching by coordinating, developing and delivering
      subjects in genomics, genetics and quantitative skills for
      biologists. As subject coordinators, you will lead academic
      colleagues in curriculum development and delivery to ensure the
      successful implementation of course objectives at the University
      of Melbourne.
  *   Actively participate at School and/or Faculty meetings and play a
      leadership role in planning activities or committee work to
      support capacity building and strategic planning in the School.
  *   Participate in supervising research team members and junior
      academics within the School, under the direction of the Head of
      School. As a supervisor, actively engage in fostering learning and
      career development opportunities for both yourself and those you
      supervise, promoting a positive and supportive environment for
      professional growth.

Who We Are Looking For

You will ideally possess a dedication to teaching and research excellence,
strong collaboration skills, the ability to think innovatively across
disciplines, a research focus on genomics in plant, insect, and microbial
systems, and a background in running a diverse, collaborative research
programs.

You will also have:

  *   PhD in genomics, synthetic biology or a related field of biology.
  *   Excellent track record, relative to opportunity, in conducting
      research and publishing in top peer-reviewed academic journals.
  *   Experience teaching into genetics, genomics and/or quantitative
      biology subjects (as a graduate student demonstrator or tutor for
      level B; as a member of a lecturer for level C; as a coordinator
      for level D) at the tertiary level.
  *   Track record of successfully mentoring postgraduate
      research students as a co-supervisor (B/C) or as a primary
      supersvior (Level D)
  *   Obtained research funding through competitive student scheme
      (Level B),ECR scheme from internal university sources or small
      external funding programs (Level Bor C) or as a lead Chief or
      Principle Investigator for larger external funding programs
      (Level D).
