Postdoctoral Research Fellow/Research Officer – Immunology and Cell Biology Full-time

Postdoctoral Research Fellow/Research Officer

We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow/Research Officer to help advance groundbreaking research targeting inflammation-driven chronic diseases and antimicrobial-resistant bacterial infections.

In this role, you'll use mRNA- and small-molecule-based approaches to modulate immunometabolic pathways in macrophages, suppress pathological inflammation, and investigate mechanisms of action in models of sepsis and chronic liver disease.

You will lead day-to-day research across immunology, cell biology, biochemistry, and microbiology, while also contributing to student and/or staff supervision. You'll work with cutting-edge assays and collaborate with leading national and international experts.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Establish a research program, collaborate on research projects, seek and manage research funding, publish in reputable journals, utilize best practice research methodologies, and participate in project discussions.
• Supervise students, recruit and manage employees, provide performance feedback and training, resolve conflicts, and ensure correct remuneration and benefits.
• Develop partnerships, demonstrate leadership through mentoring, engage in internal service roles and committees, perform administrative functions, provide support to colleagues, and uphold university values.
