30 April, 2012New Senior Scientist Position
Richard C. Russell Professor of Medical Entomology at the University of Sydney and Director of the Department of Medical Entomology at Westmead Hospital is retiring in July 2012.
Richard and his Westmead team have been able to create a new Senior Scientist position in Medical Entomology to enable the laboratory to continue as the designated NSW and de facto National Reference Laboratory for Medical Entomology. The position, as a discipline within the hospital sits administratively as a Section within the Centre for Infectious Diseases & Microbiology Laboratory Services (CIDMLS), in the Institute of Clinical Pathology & Medical Research (ICPMR).
The new position has just been advertised as a ‘Senior Hospital Scientist – Medical Entomology’. We are seeking someone with molecular biology training and experience (preferably with a PhD and postdoc experience), in microbiology, zoology or other relevant discipline, and the necessary skills to ‘enhance and expand our capabilities in molecular biology investigations of arthropod vectors and vector-borne pathogens of medical and public health concern.’ This is a permanent position and the successful applicant will be responsible to Stephen Doggett, Section Manager for Medical Entomology within CIDMLS.
