Two field research assistant positions and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow available on our Flying fo


We're really excited to be looking for three enthusiastic new people to join our fabulous flying fox and Hendra virus research team!

We're looking for a Senior Technical Officer and a Research Assistant to work full-time over the next 22 months and a Postdoctoral Research Fellow for a position over the next 18 m. Our project "Preventing emergence and spill over of bat viruses in high-risk global hotspots" involves an international collaboration of researchers (see here) addressing the dynamics of bat movement and health, bat virus transmission, and human responses to bats and spill over. The project spans five continents and involves 25 senior investigators from 14 institutions with expertise in ecology, physiology, epidemiology, virology, immunology, behavioural ecology, veterinary medicine, political science, anthropology, and mathematical modelling.

The Australian-based project is investigating whether the ongoing loss of small patches of winter- flowering habitat is affecting bat health and feeding habits, ultimately leading to increased spill over risk to horses. Based out of Griffith University, Nathan, the Australian field team are collecting data and samples from bats in northeast New South Wales and southeast Queensland to address these hypotheses.

Please note that applicants for all positions must have current Australian work rights.
