Postdoctoral Fellow/Research Fellow Full-time NEW

Postdoctoral Fellow/Research Fellow

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow in RNA engineering to develop RNA-based regulatory circuits for biomedical applications. The core project focuses on self-activating mRNAs that sense specific intracellular transcript signatures and activate translation only in target cells. The longer-term goal is a new strategy for cancer-selective therapies with reduced side effects by encoding specificity directly into RNA regulatory logic. The role includes contributions across research, education, and service, and involves mentoring students while supporting a respectful, productive workplace culture.

The ANU College of Science and Medicine encompasses the following disciplines: Astronomy and Astrophysics, Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Physics, Medicine and Psychology, and Medical Research. It is also home to various cross-disciplinary and specialist institutes and centres. Staff and students within the ANU College of Science and Medicine conduct research and deliver research-led education programs spanning the entire breadth of the sciences, supported by extensive international networks and world-class facilities.
