Position title: Bioinformatics research assistant
Employer: Hogan Laboratory, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre
Closing date: 25/03/2021
Brief position description: An opportunity exists for a talented and motivated Research Assistant to work with Professor Ben Hogan and Dr Lizzie Mason in the Program for Organogenesis and Cancer, at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.
The Hogan Laboratory is a cross-disciplinary team that aims to understand the development of lymphatic vasculature (lymphangiogenesis), which plays an important role in the metastatic spread of cancer. The computational team applies bioinformatic and statistical methodologies to provide new insights into the molecular mechanisms that underpin developmental and pathological lymphangiogenesis. They are developing a comprehensive, single cell transcriptomic atlas of lymphangiogenesis, and using systems biology to derive the regulatory networks governing cell fate transitions in developmental, and pathological settings. The computational team have collaborative relationships with statistical and bioinformatic research groups throughout the Parkville precinct.
The successful candidate will have an Honour’s or Master’s degree in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Systems Biology or Computer Science. The candidate will have strong computational skills and experience applying them in the analysis of bulk and or single cell transcriptomic data.
