To clear up the confusion, THE FEES IN THE REGISTRATION FORM ARE CORRECT. I apologise for this hiccup !

If you know of anyone who may be interested in this position please pass this information on to them. Many thanks, Cheers, POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW Molecular Parasitology Unit Faculty of Science The Molecular Parasitology Unit is a Key Research Strength of the University of Technology, Sydney. The focus of the Unit is the study of the molecular basis of the host/parasite relationship, with emphasis on the Apicomplexa, a group of protozoa responsible for some of the world's most serious parasitic diseases including malaria, toxoplasmosis, neosporosis and coccidiosis. Research is undertaken in several fields including immunology, stage differentiation and virulence, drug resistance, development of novel vaccines and drugs, and bioinformatics. For more information about the Molecular Parasitology Unit please visit : http://www.science.uts.edu.au/depts/cmb/MPUcover.html. A position is available in the Unit for a Postdoctoral Fellow with a PhD and research background in molecular biology. Experience with protozoan parasites, particularly those within the Phylum Apicomplexa is highly desirable. A strong research profile, as evidenced by publications in recognised journals and presentations at scientific conferences, is also desirable. The successful applicant will be responsible for conducting research on the heat shock proteins of Toxoplasma gondii and the immune response of the host to this parasite. The position is for a fixed term of 3 years, funded by the Australian Research Council, and is available from February 1, 2001. Salary range : $44,743-54,347 pa. The University offers a wide-ranging salary packaging scheme to all staff plus attractive superannuation.. Application Procedure : Firstly you should obtain the selection criteria from the Recruitment Office on 02 9514 1087.
