Position title: Senior Data Scientist and Team Leader

Employer: The University of Queensland

Closing date: 13/2/2022

Brief position description: The ARC Centre of Excellence in Synthetic Biology is looking for a senior data scientist and team leader to drive our program in modelling microbial capture of greenhouse gasses (carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and methane). You will be part of a multinational team involving data scientists, engineers and biologist from academia and industry exploring the potential of various microbes and ways to engineer superior microbes and bioprocesses.

The focus of the data science team is the development of

(1) an advanced knowledgebase – the C1 Global Metabolic Atlas – that captures existing and emerging knowledge of microbial C1 metabolism (genomes, networks, thermokinetics), and

(2) a variety of data and mechanistic modelling frameworks used to explore large experimental data sets and to guide design of superior microbes and bioprocesses.

As a team leader, you will lead a small UQ based team of scientists, programmers and graduate students and coordinate the effort with collaborating teams in Denmark and USA.
