Postdoctoral Scientist - Bioinformatics Job No: GC45
Cancer Research Division
The Garvan Institute is one of Australia’s leading medical research institutions with approximately 500 scientists, students and support staff working in research programs in Cancer, Diabetes & Obesity, Immunology & Inflammation, Genome Informatics, Osteoporosis, and Neuroscience.
We are now seeking a highly driven postdoctoral scientist with training or experience in bioinformatics to join the laboratory of Dr Alex Swarbrick. Dr Swarbrick leads a multidisciplinary group combining transcriptomics, cell biology, functional genomics and mammalian models of cancer to discover and characterise transcription factors and non-coding RNAs controlling cancer growth, metastasis and therapeutic response.
The scientist will lead the informatic component of an exciting new project studying microRNAs in cancer. Primary responsibilities include developing novel approaches to integrate multidimensional “-omics” datasets (transcriptomics, functional genomics, epigenomics).
The successful candidate would have the following attributes:
Remuneration for this position is competitive and commensurate on experience with additional salary packaging benefits. The position is based at The Kinghorn Cancer Centre, a new joint initiative of the Garvan Institute of Medical Research and St. Vincent’s Hospital, located in inner-city Darlinghurst - http://kinghorncancercentre.com
The Kinghorn is rapidly developing expertise and large capacity in cancer genomics and informatics and will provide a supportive and exciting environment for the fellow.
