Postdoctoral Study
The Centre for Reproduction and Genomics (CRG) uses state of the art technologies to elucidate complex problems in reproduction and genomics. Our current research ranges from pure, theory based projects through to applied research with a focus on improving human health and animal productivity.
This diverse research base provides a large number of research opportunities that would suit post-doctoral fellows with an interest in genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, molecular biology and physiology.
The Centre for Reproduction and Genomics (CRG) has world-class research staff, facilities and strong international collaborations, offering students excellent opportunities to gain a variety of highly pertinent research and technical skills.
We are interested in receiving expressions of interest from suitably qualified prospective, postdoctoral fellows with an interest in:
- Reproduction
- Physiology
- Genomics
- Genetics
- Molecular biology
- Bioinformatics
Funding
At this time the Centre for Reproduction and Genomics (CRG) has no postdoctoral awards of its own, but we welcome enquires from recent graduates seeking postdoctoral training opportunities that align with the Centre for Reproduction and Genomics cores interests funded via local (eg, Rutherford, AGMARDT, HRC) or international fellowship schemes.
Prospective applicants are encouraged to make contact with Professor Gemmell or other staff early to discuss the potential for the Centre for Reproduction and Genomics (CRG) to host them.
