The SAGC has consolidated genomics and bioinformatics expertise in the state, with a group of more than 12 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.

The SAGC is headquartered in the iconic South Australian Health and Medical Research (SAHMRI) building in the Adelaide CBD.


An exciting opportunity now exists for a Genomics Staff Scientist focused on the single cell genomics and spatial transcriptomics fields to join the SAGC team.

The facility has been pioneering in the spatial transcriptomics and single-cell genomics fields since its inception.

To flourish in this role, you will need to be able to work across multiple different projects and to possess excellent organisational and time-management skills.

In addition, in-depth knowledge of current genomics technologies and a collaborative mindset will be key to be successful in this role.

Your career progression will be supported and you will be encouraged to participate conferences and seminars to keep up with the up-to-date technologies.

About the role

Key responsibilities include:

  • Implementing and developing novel spatial and single cell genomics workflows within the facility.
  • Working closely with other external research groups to carry out complex experiments in areas such as singlecell genomics, spatial transcriptomics and related technologies.
  • Working as part of a wider team.
  • Playing an active role in the design and execution of complex experimental methods for users.
