The Clinical Genomics Laboratory (led by A/Prof Jodie Ingles) aims to find ways to use genomics and genetic counselling to equitably improve care, clarify diagnosis, refine risk information for families with genetic cardiovascular diseases.
Cardiovascular diseases affecting children and young people often have underlying genetic causes.
Gaps in our knowledge about the underlying genetic architecture of cardiovascular diseases have limited our capacity to diagnose, predict risk and effectively manage families.
Despite three decades of research, genetic testing currently identifies a causative variant in only ~40% of affected families and cannot predict those who will develop severe outcomes.
THE OPPORTUNITY The RO will contribute to a number of new and existing research projects, including NSW Hearts and the Elusive Hearts Study.
This includes:
Genomic analysis of patients undergoing cardiac transplant for nonischaemic cardiomyopathy, as part of a Synergy grant in collaboration with other centres in Australia and internationallyGene discovery research efforts to identify the underlying genetic cause of disease for families enrolled in Elusive Hearts and NSW HeartsWork with national and international collaborators to answer key research questions affecting our patient population.Salary: Up to $101,800 + 14% superannuation + salary packaging (depending on experience)
Employment Type: 2 year contract with possibility to extend
SNAPSHOT OF BENEFITS Generous salary packaging to save you income tax on your wages thereby boosting your monthly take home pay (max.
$15,900 general expenses + $2,650 meals/accom)Ample opportunities for on-going training and developmentStimulating, diverse and highly international research environmentFlexible work arrangements e.g.
