At Children's Cancer Institute we believe that a life should be long. That every child should have the chance to grow up, grow old and plan exciting futures.
However, cancer cuts life short for hundreds of children every year, before they've even had a chance to make their mark.
You have the opportunity to change that.
Through our world-class medical research, we aim to develop safer and more effective treatments for children with cancer so that they have the opportunity to live out their dreams and fulfil their potential.

This role will also involve occasional maintenance of the pipelines, and potentially prototyping of new processing stages, as required.For the right person this role is an entry point to the fast moving field of human genomics, in Australia's largest cancer genomics project.
To succeed you will have:
- Competency and demonstrated experience writing software or performing data analysis in at least one programming language (preferably Bash or Python)
- Familiarity with cleaning, processing, and combining data from multiple sources
Why Children's Cancer Institute is the place to nurture and grow your career:
