Employer: National Centre for Indigenous Genomics, The Australian National University
Closing date: 25 Feb 2024
Brief position description: The National Centre for Indigenous Genomics (NCIG) is creating reference resources for Indigenous genomics to advance knowledge and healthcare utility for Indigenous Australians. Towards that, we are generating telomere-2-telomere reference genomes and population-scale variation catalogues in partnerships with multiple Indigenous Australian communities. We are conducting a major research project into Indigenous Pharmacogenomics funded by an MRFF grant titled “Advancing Health Equity for Indigenous Australians through Pharmacogenomics”.
As a postdoctoral or research fellow focusing on pharmacogenomic research, you will play a pivotal role in conducting discovery research, developing innovative algorithms and software solutions for genomic data analyses, and performing empirical evaluations and benchmarking experiments. Through your contributions, you will enhance the utility and impact of NCIG genomic resources for the benefit of Indigenous Australians.
We are seeking exceptional candidates with a track record of high-impact research in genomics, bioinformatics, and quantitative biology. You will have exceptional technical skills and be familiar with computational technologies, DNA sequencing platforms, and large-scale genomics data analysis. If you are passionate about using your expertise to improve Indigenous health outcomes in active partnerships with Indigenous communities, we invite you to apply for this challenging and rewarding position at NCIG. Join us in making a real impact on Indigenous health by pushing the boundaries of genomics research.
