Research Scientist in Omics and Machine Learning for Algae Bioprospecting
CSIRO acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, sea and waters, of the areas that we live and work on across Australia. We acknowledge their continuing connection to their culture and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. View our vision towards reconciliation
Future Science Platforms (FSPs) are an investment in science that underpins innovation and has the potential to help reinvent and create new industries for Australia. They are hubs that support world class, creative research teams which integrate science and delivery over the long term. The Environomics FSP is using genomics and other ‘omics technologies to revolutionise environmental science and natural resource management. Environmental genomics allows us to see beyond the Australian landscape to the genescape, transforming our ability to manage our biodiversity and make use of the genetic resources in nature.
As the Research Scientist in Omics and Machine Learning for Algae Bioprospecting, you will join both the Australian National Algae Culture Collection (ANACC) and the Environomics FSP. You will design and implement a technically challenging research project that will develop an extensive knowledgebase of algae phylogenetics, omics and bioproduct characterisation. With the application of machine learning, you will link evolutionary relationships of algae to bioproduct production, to develop a predictive platform for intelligent algae bioprospecting. The project involves extensive data creation from genomics, metabolomics, proteomics, and bioactive screening, for analysis and machine learning, and additionally, there will be some scope for you to develop your own research interests within the project.
