澳大利亚迪肯大学生命与环境科学学院2023年招聘博士后职位（光/暗周期在鸟类发育过程中的作用）

迪肯大学（Deakin University），简称“迪肯”“DKU”，始建于1974年，坐落于澳大利亚维多利亚州 ，以澳大利亚第二任总理阿尔弗雷德·迪金（Alfred Deakin）的名字命名，是一所由联邦政府投资承办的顶尖公立大学，位于QS世界年轻大学排名50强。

Associate Research Fellow

School of Life and Environmental Science, Deakin University

• Research project focusing on the role of light/dark cycles in programming the development of birds

• Full-time and fixed term for 3 years, with part-time options negotiable

• Level A $74,024 - $99,512 + 17% Superannuation

Founded in 1974, Deakin is a public university in Victoria with 61,000 students across five campuses: Melbourne Burwood, Geelong Waurn Ponds, Geelong Waterfront, Warrnambool, and the online Campus. We are a progressive and open-minded university, with the highest student satisfaction in Victoria and consistently ranked in the top 1% of the world’s universities.

This role is part of a research project focusing on the role of light/dark cycles in programming the development of birds. The Associate Research Fellow will lead a program of research testing the environmental cues used by wild birds to time hatching and reproduction.

The first part of the project will be desk-based research and will involve compiling and analysing a global database on the timing of hatching in wild birds. In the second part of the project, the postdoc will gather empirical data to test the role of latitude in driving reproductive timing and physiology in wild zebra finches.

To do this, the postdoc will travel to remote locations in central Australia for fieldwork catching birds at a range of different field sites and transporting the birds back to captive holding. On campus, the project also involves monitoring the timing of reproduction in these captive breeding populations. Finally, the postdoc will assess the timing and drivers for reproductive timing by quantifying the onset of clock gene expression in avian embryos and the role of clock gene cycles in mediating reproduction in reproductively active adult birds.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Conducting high-quality research, scholarship and creative activities generating high impact outputs, with mentorship

• Engaging collaboratively to participate in novel and high-quality research outputs, including data analysis and writing publications

• Communicating outputs nationally and internationally, including as part of team

• Ensuring impact of academic activity on the field and the community

• Supporting and may lead applications for funding for research and creative activities

• Building a body of work and reputation and recognition for quality, excellence and impact

• Leading and conducting field and campus-based data gathering, as well as training in molecular techniques and data analyses as required.

• Co-supervising honours and/or HDR students to achieve productive high-quality outcomes in a timely manner

• Developing early career research plan with guidance from mentors and supervisors

• Adopting culture of research excellence, innovation and impact

• Building awareness of relevant research partners including the funding agency and landowners

• Being responsible for management of animal ethics permits, State and local permit administration and obligations.

Key selection criteria for this role:

• PhD in a relevant discipline and/or other relevant qualifications and experience

• Emerging research and scholarship through publications, and/or exhibitions as appropriate to the discipline

• Capacity to contribute to research and carry out relevant administration

• Excellent interpersonal skills to establish good working relationships with colleagues and landowners

• Ability to make a contribution to community engagement for research

• Competence in database compilation, management and statistical analyses

• Experience of remote fieldwork, mistnetting experience, molecular techniques, genomic analyses, behavioural or physiological assays are desirable, but not essential

• An Australian bird banding licence would be advantageous

Successful applicants will need to comply with vaccination mandates imposed by the relevant state/territory government. Applicants who attend third-party sites to undertake University activities will also be required to comply with any other directions or requirements in place at the third-party location.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

• Will be required to travel to remote locations for extended periods to undertake field work

• Will be required to euthanise a small number of animals

• Full Drivers Licence

• Working with Children Check

Please submit your updated resume, a short cover letter and responses to the Key Selection Criteria.
