Position title: Bioinformatician/Computational Biologist

Employer: South Australian Genomics Centre (SAGC)

Closing date: 31st May 2022

Brief position description: An exciting opportunity now exists for an experienced (Level B) post-doctoral bioinformatician/computational biologist to join the SAGC bioinformatics team. To flourish in this role, you will need to be able to thrive in a fast-paced environment, work across multiple different projects and to possess excellent organisational and time-management skills.

As an experienced bioinformatician you will have a deep understanding of at least one area of bioinformatics and have the ability to work independently and support junior members of the team to reach their full potential. You will have a sound understanding of software and workflow development best practices such as source control, test driven programming and continuous integration/deployment. Staff are expected to enable research by leading the development of reproducible, standardised pipelines for genomics data analysis and, where necessary, new methods and pipelines. Your career development will be supported and you will be encouraged to publish your research and to collaborate on major funding applications to NHMRC, ARC or MRFF.

The role requires a significant amount of face-to-face time with clients to scope out projects, communicate findings over the course of a project, and present a final report. In addition, you will lead hands-on training workshops, in your area of expertise, to teach attendees how to extract maximum value from their data.
