The Advanced Water Management Centre (AWMC) is at the leading edge of environmental biotechnology related to water and wastewater management and treatment. We have over 90 research staff and students based at The University of Queensland’s St Lucia Campus.

One project will involve microbial community analyses through high throughput sequencing and bioinformatics in conjunction with reactor operation for anaerobic methane oxidation. The second project will require pure and mixed culture experiments to examine biofilm physiological responses to a stress. We aim to produce high quality publications in top-ranked journals from these research activities. The postdoctoral research fellow will participate in the management of these Australian Research Council funded Discovery Projects.

The person: Applicants are required to have a PhD degree in the area of molecular microbiology, microbial physiology, genomics or bioinformatics. Abilities of rigorous experiment design and implementation and of in-depth critical data analysis are required. The applicants should also possess a high level of communication and negotiation skills, be outcome focused and prepared to participate in laboratory and field sampling to acquire data.
Remuneration: This is a full-time, fixed-term appointment for three years at Academic level A06 – A08 (AUD$70,676 – $75,867 p.a.) plus employer superannuation contributions of up to 17%.
