CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Commensally Delivered Recombinant Immunity
CSIRO acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land, sea and waters, of the area that we live and work on across Australia. We acknowledge their continuing connection to their culture and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. View our vision towards reconciliation
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.
This position will form part of the Immune Resilience Future Science Platform (FSP). The Immune Resilience FSP aims to harness the fundamental understanding of the immune system to develop novel strategies and platforms that will build resilience in animals to combat disease and parasite challenges.
This research project will develop a proof of concept for live vaccine delivery of nanobodies targeting “commensal-zoonoses” for the prevention of human disease. The successful candidate will focus on Campylobacter jejuni in chickens as a model for “Artificial Immunity to Commensal Zoonoses” with the aim to generate multivalent vaccines which can stimulate host immunity to one disease and provide “artificial immunity” to others.
