<P><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial">ANSTO and the CSIRO Food Futures Flagship are seeking a recent PhD graduate with a strong focus on innovation, good communication skills and a proven publication record to join a unique research collaboration. We are looking for a researcher who can work well within cross-disciplinary teams and can collaborate strongly with industrial partners.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial">The fellow will work in a major initiative applying a multidisciplinary approach to understand the factors that influence the material properties of proteins. Particular focus will be on correlating the molecular properties of proteins with their behaviour in solution, during drying and re-hydration, initially pure and subsequently as mixed systems. The project will make extensive use of small angle X-ray and neutron scattering and quasi-elastic neutron scattering to obtain both structural and dynamic information and relate these data to a range of factors including moisture content, temperature, pH, ionic strength and co-solutes.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial">The fellow will interact closely with collaborators in Food Science Australia and The University of Queensland and with industry through a protein research consortium.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial">Experience in the application of X-ray or neutron scattering methods to investigate bio-systems, particularly proteins, is essential.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial">To be eligible for appointment, applicants will require a security and medical assessment.</FONT>
