Position title: Bioinformatics Research Officer

Employer: QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute

Closing date: 25th January 2022

Brief position description: Applications are invited for an experienced bioinformatician to join the Medical Genomics Group headed by Dr Nic Waddell. The exciting position involves working on large cancer datasets including whole genome sequencing, transcriptomics, immunohistochemistry and long read sequencing from a variety of tumour types. The position involves developing and using analytical workflows to analyse cancer genomes. Working independently and with collaborators, a number of scientific questions will be explored including: unravelling tumour heterogeneity, finding new treatment opportunities, and studying the tumour microenvironment.

You are expected to have a strong track record in bioinformatics. This position will work alongside other bioinformaticians in the Medical Genomics Group, and will work closely with a PhD student who is focused on using long read sequencing to explore genomic heterogeneity.
