Postdoctoral Research Fellow - North Ryde, Australia - Macquarie University
Description
PRIMARY DETAIL
Opportunity for an experienced postdoctoral researcher with strong background in molecular biology and a keen interest in neuroscience for designer gene therapy vector development in the Dementia Research Centre.THE ROLE
The Dementia Research Centre is seeking an experienced and highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to drive a FightMND project aiming to develop and transform experimental gene therapy vectors into a human trial-ready gene therapy. This project aims to demonstrate its pre-clinical efficacy and safety profile required for advancing to first in human trials.
The successful candidate will have a strong background in molecular biology from the fields of neuroscience, immunology, virology or cancer biology for designer gene therapy vector development. This work will integrate with ongoing research of the Dementia Research Centre using adeno-associated viral vectors as gene therapy for treatment of neuro-degenerative diseases. The role requires a high degree of independence in experimental planning and execution, data analysis and reporting. The successful candidate will present the data at scientific conferences, prepare manuscripts towards publications in scientific journals and actively contribute to grant and fellowship applications to support the research program. There will be opportunities for contributing to teaching and organizational committees.
The researcher will humanise an experimental gene therapy vector into a translational vector that meets regulatory requirements. The role will be required to optismise processes to produce vector quantities to preclinical validation and future clinical trials. The research will also be required to perform pre-clinical vector validation in MND mouse models and target engagement in iPSC-derived CNS organoids. This project aims to demonstrate its pre-clinical efficacy and safety profile required for advancing to first in human trials. Furthermore, the researcher will develop new gene delivery vectors.
Specific role requirements:
About You
You have worked with gene editing and transfer technologies in your field of research and you are interested in a new challenge by bringing your expertise to a multidisciplinary team in neuroscience, to develop the next generation of gene therapy vectors for battling dementia. You will have an in-depth knowledge and experience in molecular cloning techniques and be familiar with cell culture techniques and laboratory animals. You would have made significant contributions to your field of research with several impactful publications and presentations at national and international conferences. Your track record makes you a likely candidate for obtaining grants and fellowships in the future. You will enjoy working both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team. You will also be an excellent communicator with high-quality interpersonal skills and the ability to liaise with internal and external stakeholders at all levels.
