About This Opportunity?


More variable renewable energy-based generators (VREGs) are integrated into the electricity grid each year. However, VREGs produce oscillations (periodic energy exchange across system components), which cause grid instability and are a roadblock for the growth of renewable energy. Such oscillations result in reduced VREG production or commissioning delays, which place technical and financial pressure on renewable generators. This project will facilitate a researcher network, from the USA, the UK, India and industry partner Iberdrola Australia, developing innovative methods to identify oscillation sources based on the measurement from VREGs to accelerate the integration of renewables into the electricity grid, paving the way for Australia to reach net zero by 2050.



The aim of this project is to develop a network of outstanding researchers to fast-track innovative solutions to the critical challenge of network instability caused by power oscillation introduced through renewable energy integration into the electricity grid. The project aims to develop new methods to identify the sources of oscillations produced by variable renewable energy generators (VREGs), which will consequently facilitate effective solutions to address system instability caused by oscillations, thereby, reducing the technical and financial barriers to greater integration of renewable energy. The Postdoctoral Research Fellow will have strong engagement with industry and research partners.

About This Opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity for a Postdoctoral Research Fellow to lead a project to develop a rationally-designed vaccine against malaria.

By taking advantage of recent advances in genomic sequencing, proteomics, transcriptional profiling, and molecular immunology, we have discovered unique targets of T cell responses or antibody responses against malaria. This NIH-funded project will test these antigens as vaccine candidates by engineering novel vaccine platforms to enhance T cell responses and assessing immunogenicity, protective capacity and biological function in pre-clinical models of malaria. By establishing proof-of-concept for rational vaccine design from genomic data, this project is expected to advance the development of an effective vaccine against malaria with implications for other challenging public health threats.

The candidate will work with national and international experts and gain experience in malaria biology, immunology and vaccinology, with a specific focus on novel vaccine technologies including mRNA and viral vector vaccine platforms.
