Research Officer - Translational GenomicsThe Garvan Institute of Medical Research brings together world leading researchers and clinicians, collaborating locally and globally, to improve human health.
Our mission is to harness all the information encoded in our genome to better diagnose, treat, predict and prevent disease.
From the individual patient with rare disease, to the many thousands affected by complex, widespread illness, we are pioneering discoveries across diseases that have the deepest impact on our community.
THE OPPORTUNITY We seek a talented research officer to join the Neavin team within the Translational Genomics Program.
The project focuses on understanding the impact of biological variation on molecular phenotypes like gene expression and chromatin accessibility at the level of individual cells.
The successful candidate will work with Dr Drew Neavin to use >13,000 single cell samples to explore how technical and biological variables contribute to variation in single cell molecular phenotypes.
These include genetic effects as well as impacts of genetic ancestry, sex and disease.
The ultimate goal of this research is to provide understanding of human biology and contributors to interindividual variation in disease and health.
Salary: $92,300 + 14% super + salary packaging (depending on experience)
Employment Type: 2 year term 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.

Resolving genetic mechanisms of complex human disease by applying single-cell and statistical genetics methods.Leading aspects of the projectStaying informed on advances in computational methods genomics, as well as building and maintaining biological domain expertisePresenting results in internal meetings and conferencesContributing to scientific manuscriptsCollaborating with other group members and as part of national and international consortiaRecord-keeping and administrative aspects that underlie scientific research in discussion with group members and development of timelines.Attending, discussing and reviewing current and future techniques within the instituteABOUT YOU A strong background in computational genomics, bioinformatics or data science is preferred.
Highly motivated individuals with a strong attention to detail, multi-tasking skills, and a willingness to learn new technologies are also encouraged to apply.
Essential criteria A PhD in a relevant field such as bioinformatics, computer science, biology, statistics or other relevant areas.High proficiency in programming and scripting languages (e.g.
Python, R).Experience with Unix and HPC environmentsExperience in managing large datasets in an HPC environmentDemonstrated experience using version control for code development and curationAn interest in genetics, and cellular biologyExcellent problem-solving skillsGood communication skills and strong in teamwork and collaborative researchExcellent project management and organisation skills.Ability to work independently and meet deadlines.Desirable criteria Proficiency with C/C++, Java and/or Perl scripting languagesExperience and expertise in ML/AI algorithms for analysis of genomic data.Good knowledge of statistics and presentation of molecular/clinical data.Experience in analysing and interpreting large genomic data sets (WGS, RNA-Seq, scRNA-Seq).ABOUT GARVAN Garvan Institute of Medical Research is an independent Medical Research Institute (MRI) in Sydney, delivering scientific and clinical impact on a global basis and in partnership with organisations that share our vision.
We are proud to be one of Australia's largest and most highly regarded MRI's.
Our vision is global leadership in discoveries to impact and our enduring purpose is to impact human health, by harnessing information encoded in our genome.
We seek to see our world-class discovery research achieve life-changing impacts, not only for individual patients with rare diseases, but for the many thousands affected by complex, common disease.
Garvan promotes a diverse workplace and is committed to the principles of equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging.
We are always looking for culture 'add', not culture 'fit' and are building diverse teams with great sets of complementary styles and skills to help deliver our important work effectively.
