As the only independent Medical Research institute in Australia focused on childhood cancer, our purpose is to translate and discover new treatments through world class research, that will treat cancer and reduce its side effects in children and adolescents.

We can save and change lives. At The Children's Cancer Institute we believe that a life should be long.

Cancer cuts life short for hundreds of children every year, before they've even had a chance to make their mark.

We aim to not only improve their quality of life, but eradicate the cause of their pain.


Choose to be part of a team that will nurture your talent and grow your career, so you too can contribute to this purpose.

Together, we can work towards ensuring ZERO lives are lost due to childhood cancer. It's not if, it's when.


This role is vital in sample processing and supporting the reporting of genomic findings for patients in a clinically relevant timeframe.

It requires excellent teamwork, meticulous attention to detail and close adherence to deadlines so that patient test results can be provided in a timely manner.

Saturday work will be required on a rotational basis.

As our Technical Assistant in the ZERO Molecular Profiling team your purpose will be to:

  • Accurately and efficiently process patient samples so that nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) are available for immediate or later testing as required
  • Isolate DNA/RNA from patient samples and from different biomaterial sources
  • Accurately label all processed patient samples whilst ensuring patient confidentiality
  • Maintain accurate records for all processed samples
  • Demonstrate high level of organisational skills
  • Prepare samples, liaising with couriers and external laboratory collaborators for sample distribution
  • Assist Research Technicians, Research Assistants and other senior team members where required with various laboratory techniques to optimise and integrate new methods and technologies to enhance patient sample quality, quantity and turnaround time
  • Liaise with hospitals for sample collection and shipping
  • Proactively coordinate the laboratory supplies inventory, sample and data quality management, and auditing
  • Actively engage and help drive the continued development of method improvements
  • Follow and help establish operational procedures to deliver service levels equivalent to a diagnostic laboratory
  • Ensure the infrastructure to support rapid sample processing is operating according to agreed metrics to deliver patient centred data to relevant stakeholders within the agreed timeframes

To succeed you will have

  • Tertiary qualifications in science or relevant laboratory processing experience
  • 1 + years relevant laboratory experience
  • Experience with molecular biology techniques
  • Excellent communication skills and must be capable of always maintaining a professional demeanour
  • The ability to work in an independent manner as well as able to work within a team environment
  • Experience with PC2 and WHS standards and behaviour and handling patient samples is highly desirable

We will support you to be your best with benefits that include but are not limited to:

  • Access to our 'FlexBEST' program
  • true flexibility from day
  • options include hybrid working, school-friendly hours, and 9-day working fortnight
  • Focus on employee wellbeing, including a leading EAP program, and up to 5 gifted wellbeing days off (paid) per year
  • Investment in leadership development and career advancement opportunities


Join a group of dedicated people in a performance-driven environment to achieve success and discover what it's like to look forward to coming to work every day and make a real difference.
