Expression of interest for a new SBA-Sydney node leader

The SBA-Sydney is calling for expression of interest for a new node leader. The node leader will be coordinating the node and acts as the main point of contact between the SBA and our sponsors.

This is an ideal role for a postgraduate student, early or mid career researcher based in Sydney that is keen to become an active member of the SBA community.

Please let us know of your interest by filling out this form by the 31st of November.
We review applications by then and will get in touch with you.

If you have any further questions please email us at sbasydneyau@gmail.com or kerstin.petroll@mq.edu.au.

We're looking forward to hearing from you soon,

The SBA-Sydney team

Not sure what the SBA-Sydney is all about?

We are the Sydney node of the Synthetic Biology Australasia society (SBA) with membersfrom across Sydney's Universities and Synbio start-ups. We are focusing on growing an inclusive local SynBio community and organise 2-3 events per year for everyone to network, learn and create impact. We are interested in all synbio related research areas whether environmental, medical, agricultural, food, manufacturing and energy, in academia and industry.

Looking back at over two years of SBA-Sydney since inception we are truly grateful to our sponsors the SBA, NEB, CoESB and Twist/Decode Science who helped catering our events and providing gifts (inlc. many DNA synthesis vouchers) and merchandise for winners of our many event competitions. We are grateful for our generous beer and zero-alcohol beer sponsors from The Flying Wombats and Eden Brew and special thanks to our amazing speakers and YOU our SBA-Sydney members who made the events such great success.

As above, register your interest here if you are keen to engage and lead the SBA-Sydney node to ensure the fun and impact of our growing community continues.

Below are some photos from our past two events held in 2022 at Macquarie University and UNSW, Sydney.
