CSIRO Postdoctoral Fellowship in Economics of Biotechnologies
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.
This position will deliver a transformational approach to maximising the impact of synthetic biology science in Australia and support the development of the Australian bioeconomy. The Postdoctoral Fellow will help to achieve our desired future state of being a global leader in transdisciplinary research and help Australia to become a recognized global leader in social and economic approaches to synthetic biology research, development, and industry growth.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will join a group of economists and social scientists and collaborate with researchers from CSIRO and external collaborators to drive application of economics in biotechnology research and development. In this role, the Postdoctoral Fellow will consider and assess the wider economic impacts of biotechnologies including the economic viability of various natural products and/or biobased materials obtained from bioprocesses and the disruptive potential of new biotechnology on value chains, local and regional economies, and to the nation. The Postdoctoral Fellow will apply their research in the fields of synthetic biology, precision fermentation, waste valorisation, and circular economy.
Our science solutions will integrate economic perspectives in synthetic biology/gene technology approaches to generate responsible, positive, and measurable outcomes for our stakeholders and customers.
