This role is based at the Australian National Insect Collection (ANIC) within CSIRO’s National Research Collections Australia (NRCA). The candidate will collaborate with NRCA/ANIC researchers, taxonomists, molecular systematists, bioinformaticians, and lab technicians, as well as external collaborators and clients as needed.
As the successful applicant, your position will support insect systematics research and curation through molecular lab work, involving protocol development, troubleshooting, DNA extraction, and library preparation for sequencing. Responsibilities also include HSE tasks, assisting less experienced users, and general lab upkeep.
Your focus will be on collection genomics, dealing with historical DNA from ANIC’s 12 million specimens. DNA sequences support phylogenetic studies, taxonomic revisions, species identifications, and collection curation. High-throughput workflows utilize advanced equipment such as multi-channel pipettes, robotics, MinION sequencers, and a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).
This is an indefinite, appropriation-funded position, with projects funded by grants from sources like the Environomics Future Science Platform. The role involves contributing to multi-disciplinary teams, developing ideas, presenting work, co-authoring publications, and participating in grant applications. Teamwork and responsibility are key.
