This exciting opportunity is in the field of reproductive biology and genome engineering in mammals. The broad aim of the project is to develop novel genetic biocontrol strategies for the more humane and effective population control of rabbits, as a more humane alternative to classical viral biocontrol systems.
As a Research Scientist at CSIRO’s Health and Biosecurity, you will design and implement genetic strategies for skewing the sex ratio of offspring towards one sex, or to generate offspring where one sex is infertile. There will be opportunity to interact with other groups across CSIRO with genome engineering capability for animal agriculture and aquaculture applications as well as infectious disease studies. Close collaborative links also exist with leading researchers in genetic biocontrol at the University of Adelaide.
