Sydney, Australia
The Garvan Institute of Medical Research is one of Australia’s leading medical research institutes, with over 600 scientists, students and support staff. We pioneer study into the most widespread diseases affecting our community today, including cancer, neurodegenerative and mental diseases, disorders of the immune system, diabetes and obesity, osteoporosis and other skeletal disorders.
The Ovarian Cancer Research Laboratory at the Garvan Institute has a particular interest in the application of genomic technologies to address clinically significant issues such as primary and acquired chemoresistance. The lab spans the Garvan Institute and the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (Melbourne) through Professor David Bowtell’s joint appointment at these two leading institutions.
The Bioinformatics Research Officer will focus on the implementation, development and support of computational and statistical tools for the analysis and interpretation of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. Specifically, the Bioinformatics Research Officer will assist and provide insights into the genomic analysis of primary and acquired chemoresistance in ovarian cancer. In addition to providing support for the existing team, the Bioinformatics Research Officer will have the opportunity to develop their own research interests, as we expand on our previous work describing whole genome sequencing (WGS) of chemoresistant ovarian cancer (Patch et al. 2015 Nature).
Garvan offers a friendly and professional work environment in state of the art modern building and facilities, on-site café, social club and close to cafes and public transport. You’ll be rewarded with a competitive salary, above market Superannuation and attractive salary packaging options.
This role is Full-time for an initial 2 year fixed term contract.
