Spatial and Single-Cell Computational Immunogenomics

Found in: beBee S AU - 4 weeks ago

Adelaide, Australia UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE Full time

(Level A) $75,888 to $102,040 per annum plus an employer contribution of 17% superannuation applies.

Fixed term, full time position available for 2 years.

The position is for a postdoctoral fellow in computational immunogenomics. This position will advance cancer diagnosis by analysing immune responses and treatment efficacy through data-driven research and a multi-omic approach. 

Exploring the dynamics of circulating immune cells in blood reveals crucial insights into the immune system's response, its efficacy against metastatic cancer, and its reaction to various treatments. Profiling peripheral blood immune single cells and circulating cytokines, we uncovered patterns of immune cell communication and composition linked to metastatic progression. 

This exciting position aims to expand this research to encompass the local tumour microenvironment and apply this approach to identify individual immune characteristics influencing immunotherapy success. We aim to employ a multiomic approach, analysing extensive patient data across all stages of disease progression. This research will utilise state-of-the-art facilities, including 10x Xenium, 10x CITE-seq, Milliplex and proteomics. 

We're searching for a dynamic individual for the Computational Biologist/Bioinformatician/Biostatistician role. This position is ideal for someone who excels in integrating data-driven biological research, developing necessary computational or statistical methodologies, and effectively managing and analysing research data. Joining our team offers a unique opportunity to enhance your skill set, establish a solid research profile in computational biology and biomedicine, and contribute significantly to improving patient outcomes. 

The Stefano Mangiola Research Group at SAiGENCI is at the forefront of cancer immunogenomics, employing data-driven machine-learning techniques. Our interdisciplinary and international team collaborates extensively with immunology, cancer biology and machine learning experts, leveraging state-of-the-art experimental data to unravel biological processes and novel biomedical applications. 

To be successful you will need: 

MSc/PhD in Bioinformatics, Computer Science, or related field;   Expertise in bioinformatics workflows;   High-dimensional data analysis skills;   Demonstrated ability to think creatively and innovatively in problem-solving, particularly in the application of computational methods to biological questions.  Proficiency in R or Python. 

Responsibilities:

Analysing, modelling and integrating large-scale single-cell and spatial single-molecule datasets.  Develop new methods and pipelines for large-scale and massively parallel data processing and modelling of transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic and imaging data.  Collaborate across teams, effectively communicating results and contributing to experimental design. 

About You: 

Passionate about interdisciplinary collaboration, with strengths in both computational and biological sciences.  Organised, detail-oriented, and adept in managing complex datasets.  Eager to contribute to a forward-thinking research environment.  Self-driven in conducting research and making an impact.
