1. Postdoctoral Positions in Engineering Insects to Detoxify Waste
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowships:
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. Invertebrates and insects in general have an amazing capacity to survive and even thrive on substances that are otherwise difficult to deal with. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to investigate the capability and capacity of insects to deal with challenging food sources using the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) as a model system. The project on offer is transdisciplinary in nature and requires the application of knowledge and skills from several specialist scientific areas (microbiology, metabolic flux, multi-omics, bioinformatics, biochemistry). The CERC Fellow will work across multiple CSIRO laboratories, in addition to working at collaborator institutions (national and international). This will ensure you have access to state-of-the-art high throughput technologies and bioinformatics techniques in the field of systems biology and environmental omics

7. Postdoctoral Positions in Reproductive Biology and Genome Engineering in Mammals
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowships:
This CERC Fellowship is in the field of reproductive biology and genome engineering in mammals. The broad aim of the project is to develop strategies to control the sex of offspring to improve animal welfare. The ability to control the sex of animals in agricultural systems holds the promise of dramatically improving animal welfare and increasing production efficiency. Males and females often exhibit significantly different production performances. There is a range of examples where the presence of both males and females in the production system dictates the need for inefficient management practices that may have adverse animal welfare implications. Consequently, the ability to skew the sex ratio of offspring would have a major positive benefit to animal agriculture.

23. Postdoctoral Positions in modelling climate impacts on the Great Barrier Reef using ML
Summary of Postdoctoral Fellowships:
Coral reefs around the world including the Great Barrier Reef are under the threat of severe coral bleaching and ocean acidification from the impacts of climate change. Conserving reefs into the future will require an understanding of the evolving distribution of climate refugia that currently protects reefs.

However, the current generation of climate models are unable to resolve critical reef-scale physical processes. The Fellow will address this critical need using machine learning approaches to rapidly downscale climate model outputs. The research will be supported by a team with expertise in ocean modelling and downscaling, machine learning, and ecological impact assessment.
