With the aim of recruiting exceptional global talent to address the core mission of the Cumming Global Centre, we are ambitious that this initiative will attract exceptional researchers to the Centre and University of Melbourne.  The Cumming Global Centre intends to recruit up to 20 full-time positions, offering seven-year research packages, to be hosted across the Doherty Institute and the University of Melbourne.

 The Faculty Recruitment campaign will recruit emerging and established investigators across a range of areas aligned with the Centre’s mission. These appointments will be employed in multiple departments, schools and faculties across the Doherty Institute and the University of Melbourne, based on the best discipline home for the applicant.

 The Faculty Recruitment campaign will recruit Levels C, D and E academics in the following areas:

• Bioinformatics, artificial intelligence and computational biology
• Structural biology and small molecule drug development
• Pathogens of pandemic potential: Virology and bacteriology
• Immunology and immunotherapies, including antibodies and nanobodies
• Nucleic acid targeting and mRNA technology
• Model systems: Organoids and animal models for therapeutic development

 Our goal is to contribute to our dynamic and diverse research community to enhance collaboration and drive groundbreaking discoveries.

 Kind regards

Jo Blanchfield
