CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship-Next Generation Wound-Healing Devices Enabled by Machine Learning

CSIRO, Australia

Deadline: The position may have been removed or expired!

  • Do you have a PhD in chemistry, materials science, biomedical science/engineering or a related discipline?
  • Employ machine learning to discover antimicrobial peptides that promote wound healing
  • Join the CSIRO Manufacturing Team for this exciting and important postdoctoral role

CSIRO Early Research Career (CERC) Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to scientists and engineers who have completed their doctorate and have less than three years of relevant postdoctoral work experience. These fellowships aim to develop the next generation of future leaders of the innovation system.

Implantable medical devices suffer from adverse tissue responses and infection leading to a significant health risk for patients. This project will employ machine-learning to discover dual-action antimicrobial peptides that promote wound-healing for use in biomaterials to prevent infection and accelerate wound recovery.

The Postdoctoral Fellow will work on peptide synthesis, bacterial assay workflows and methods for peptide incorporation into biomaterials. This position is aligned with CSIRO’s Infectious Disease Resilience (IDR) Mission which supports national and global efforts to prevent, detect, respond to, and recover from, the threat of infectious diseases.
