JOINT<br />
APPOINTMENTS<br />
at the IMB<br />
The purpose of joint appointments is<br />
to foster collaborations in teaching,<br />
research and related activities<br />
between the IMB and Schools of The<br />
<strong>University</strong> of Queensland.<br />
Joint appointments involve a split<br />
in salary between the IMB and the<br />
relevant UQ School, and a joint<br />
appointee’s commitment to the<br />
research and teaching activities at<br />
the IMB is greater than that of affiliate<br />
appointees.<br />
Joint appointees participate in<br />
all <strong>Institute</strong> activities, including<br />
laboratory research, supervision of<br />
research higher degree students, and<br />
attendance at seminars, Divisional<br />
meetings and IMB Group Leader<br />
retreats.<br />
Joint appointees in <strong>2010</strong> were<br />
Professor Alan Mark and<br />
Professor Geoffrey McLachlan.<br />

BOUQUET<br />
A virus is a piece of mosaic art<br />
perfected by Nature. The viral<br />
shell is made up of hundreds<br />
of copies of identical protein<br />
molecules arranged in a highly<br />
sophisticated pattern, giving<br />
a unique architecture <strong>for</strong> each<br />
type of virus. A close- up of<br />
the computer- generated three<br />
dimensional structure of a mouse polyomavirus<br />
particle is shown here. In the background, an<br />
assemblage of electron micrographs depicting viral<br />
shells constructed at UQ.
