Research Technician - Virology (Avian Infectious Diseases Research)

• ​​​​​​Undertake research to understand the biosecurity threat of avian influenza virus
• Bring your technical skills in virology and/or molecular biology to our research lab
• Work in the unique environment of the Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness and make a real difference

Many of CSIRO's innovations were once considered impossible. Fast WiFi, Aerogard insect repellent and the plastic Australian banknote, to name a few. Until someone, just like you, joined us and took on the challenge. We’re recruiting inventors, innovators and change makers. Join Team CSIRO and help make the impossible possible.

CSIRO’s ACDP (formerly known as the Australian Animal Health Laboratory) helps protect Australia’s multi-billion-dollar livestock and aquaculture industries, and the general public, from emerging infectious disease threats. It is a high-containment facility designed to allow scientific research into the most dangerous infectious agents in the world.

As a Research Technician – Virology you will be a part of the Avian Infectious Diseases Research team at CSIRO’s Australian Centre for Disease Preparedness and bring expertise in virology and/or molecular biology in support of our research project to understand the biosecurity threat of avian influenza virus, for the purpose of mitigating the effects of viral agents on animal health, the economy and the environment.

The appointee must be able to meet ACDP’s microbiological security and security assessment requirements.
