Position title: Bioinformatics postdoc
Employer: St Vincent's Institute of Medical Research
Closing date: October 15th 2021
Brief position description: The DNA Repair and Recombination Laboratory is an established research group at SVI, focused on understanding the genetic control of DNA repair and recombination and the role that these processes play in inheritance and oncofertility. We are seeking a bioinformatician who loves what they do and who wants to work closely with wetlab researchers. You will be a key member of the team for all experimental stages from planning through to data analysis. You will be a self-motivated researcher with a PhD, first author publications and trained in bioinformatics and genomics, statistics, computation and reproducible analyses. The role will be a mixture of semi-autonomous research and providing support as required to the wetlab part of the team. You will have the opportunity to develop your own research projects by negotiation.
To address our biological questions, we use a number of tools that produce large datasets which includes: bulk high-throughput sequencing of genomic DNA, single-cell sequencing of genomic DNA, immunofluorescence microscopy, whole animal phenotyping from pedigrees, and other cell-based phenotypic datasets. The team is specifically interested in performing discovery research and identifying and characterising phenotypes which in turn improves our understanding of our biological interests.
Having a diverse workforce that represents the global and Australian community is very important to our team and we actively encourage applications from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, people with disabilities, from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, LGBTQIA+ people, and all genders.
