Position title: Postdoctoral Bioinformatician in Single Cell and Spatial Omics Data Analysis

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 platform. To flourish in this role, you will already have a deep understanding of single-cell transcriptomics data analysis and have at least a keen interest, if not existing experience, in the application of spatial transcriptomics and/or other spatial omics approaches to biomedical research questions.

As an experienced bioinformatician you will work with a relatively high degree of independence in the area of single cell and spatial omics data analysis. Single cell and spatial omics technologies available to us include the Chromium X, Visium, STomics, and NanoString technologies and we are actively collaborating with other researchers and facilities who are developing other spatial omics methods (e.g. spatial lipidomics and metabolomics).

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 single cell and spatial data analysis as well as the development of new methods, pipelines and data visualisation tools. Your career development will be supported and you will be encouraged to publish your research and to collaborate/lead major funding applications to NHMRC, ARC or MRFF.

This role requires the successful candidate to be a team player with excellent communication skills. You will also contribute to the SAGC’s education and outreach activities by leading hands-on training workshops.
