Research Scientist - Directed Evolution of Nitrogenases

We have a dynamic and inclusive team within the Engineering Nitrogenase into Plants team within CSIRO’s Agriculture and Food research unit. We are seeking applicants for the role of Research Scientist – Directed Evolution in Nitrogenases. If you take pride in your interpersonal skills and your ability to apply expertise in directed evolution in microbes for multi-gene pathways, we would love to hear from you. As the Research Scientist, your major aims will be to simplify the genetic complexity of native nitrogenases and also to improve the tolerance of nitrogenases to oxygen. Your wider team within CSIRO spans synthetic biology in plants and the biochemistry of metalloenzymes and your role will be to provide improved variants of nitrogenases that can be validated in plant-based assays.
