BACKGROUND
The South Australian Genomics Centre (SAGC) (https://www.sa-genomics.com.au/index.php) is a multi-institutional, national genomics and bioinformatics facility that is supported by Bioplatforms Australia (BPA) through the Australian Government's National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS). The SAGC has consolidated genomics and bioinformatics expertise in the state, with a group of ~10 genomics and bioinformatics staff working side-by-side to deliver innovative genomics and bioinformatics solutions across all areas of genomics research, including agriculture, healthcare and ecology.
An exciting opportunity now exists for an entry level post-doctoral researcher or experienced MSc-level bioinformatician to join the SAGC bioinformatics team.

This role is primarily responsible for conducting bioinformatics analyses on a wide variety of client projects with varying levels of complexity. You will have a varied and interesting workload across projects in different biological disciplines.
There are significant opportunities for professional growth and development through exposure to data sets from different genomics technologies. Staff are expected to enable research by leading the development of reproducible, standardised pipelines for genomics data analysis and, where necessary, new methods and pipelines. Your career development will be supported and you will be encouraged to publish your research and to collaborate on major funding applications to NHMRC, ARC or MRFF. You will also be supported to develop your bioinformatics capabilities; ensuring that the SAGC can remain at the forefront of genomics.
