Dear all, Please find attached a three-year postdoc opportunity at the Institute of Molecular Bioscience, at the University of Queensland, Australia. *Primary Purpose of the Position* The main aim of this position is to develop state-of-the-art multi-omics approaches to generate new and unprecedented insights into the pathology of central nervous system (CNS) injury and disease. The work will involve developing new wet lab techniques, pipelines and bioinformatics platforms for the analysis of large (multi-) omics data, as well as optimising workflows to incorporate both custom and publically available data and analysis algorithms. *Primary Responsibilities * - Implement and develop spatial omics technologies together with other lab members; - Develop pipelines and optimised workflow protocols for the analysis and visualisation of complex RNAseq and other large omics data; - Help others interrogate genomic and RNAseq datasets, generate novel insights and testable hypotheses to interrogate the role(s) of specific cells and/or biological pathways in CNS injury and disease; - Assist with the preparation of manuscripts for peer-reviewed publication, and also summarising and visualisation of data for presentations at e.g. seminars, conferences and meetings; - Apply for relevant funding opportunities to further expand the research portfolio; - Assist with the training and supervision of research higher degree students; - Any other duties as reasonably directed by your supervisor. *The University of Queensland* UQ ranks in the world’s top universities, as measured by several key independent ranking, including the CWTS Leiden Ranking (32), the Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities (43), the US News Best Global Universities Rankings (42), QS World University Rankings (48), Academic Ranking of World Universities (55), and the Times Higher Education World University Rankings (69). Excluding the award component, UQ is now ranked 45th in the world in the ARWU, and is one of the only two Australian universities to be included in the global top 50. UQ itself is located in thriving Brisbane, a city consistently ranked as one of the world’s most vibrant and livable cities. *Contact information* Interested?
