Bioinformatics Data Analyst at Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Australia
Functional Genomics Group
12 Months Fixed-Term
(Ref. No. 0809-XX)
Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (Peter Mac) is the largest cancer research group
in Australia, uniquely integrating basic, translational and clinical research with
patient care in the setting of a specialist cancer hospital.
We are currently seeking a Bioinformatician to support the analysis of data from
the Functional Genomics facility. As an integral member of the Bioinformatics and
Functional Genomics groups, this role involves the creation and maintenance of
databases tracking large volumes of screening data from multiple users, as well as
developing policies and procedures to ensure data integrity.
A strong communicator and team player, you will be responsible for maintaining
databases and applying mathematical models and tools for data analysis, in
addition to collaborating with Biologists for the statistical analysis of raw data
using specialised software packages. You will also assist the production of
research reports and presentations.
A qualification in Bioinformatics or Biostatistics is essential, and experience in
either cell biology or molecular biology with high-throughput screening skills will
be highly regarded.

Postdoctoral Position at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis
Requisition Number: 5202
Description
A postdoctoral position is available immediately in the area of cell-based assay development and genome-wide high throughput siRNA screening. The successful candidate will focus on development and implementation of siRNA screens, using high throughput and high content screening technologies. The fellow will work in collaboration with biologists and technologists, employing state-of-the-art automation and instrumentation for the discovery of genes that are important in physiological and pathological processes. The work is intended to provide an opportunity to practice cutting edge high throughput quantitative biology in a context that directly impacts translational research and drug discovery for pediatric diseases.
Requirements
Highly motivated individuals with a recent PhD degree and evidence of scientific accomplishment are encouraged to apply. Good communication skills and willingness to work in a team environment are essential. Significant experience in cell and molecular biology is desirable. An interest in assay development, automation, instrumentation and drug discovery is preferred. Prior experience with siRNA technology is of particular interest.
