When you step into a role, what do you want the purpose of the company you work for to be? How does that align with the individual purpose that motivates your ambition?

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

We save and change lives. At 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 improve their quality of life and 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 and will cure all children of cancer. It’s not if. It’s when.

**As our Research Assistant/Animal Technician in the Leukaemia Biology team your purpose will be**:

- Responsibility for establishing and maintaining_ in vivo_ xenograft mouse models of high-risk acute leukaemia and _in vivo_ drug efficacy testing.
- To work with cell and molecular biology procedures, including cell culture, real-time quantitative PCR, Western blotting, flow cytometry.
- Additional responsibilities include collating, organising and presenting experimental results when necessary, interrogating publicly available datasets, carrying out other laboratory assays as required, and participation in the day-to-day running of the laboratory in cooperation with other researchers.
- To ensure all data records are kept up to date within an Electronic Lab Journal.
- Although experience in any/all of these techniques is desirable, additional training will be provided where required.

**To succeed you will have**
- Competent computer skills
- Molecular Biology skills (e.g. Cell culture, cloning, virus production, ChIP-seq)
- Demonstrated ability to plan and conduct experiments
- Experience in molecular biology and cell culture techniques
- Willingness to learn new laboratory techniques
- Experience with _in vivo_ mouse models is desirable but not essential as training will be provided
- Minimum BSc (Hons) or equivalent in a relevant scientific or medical field

**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 1 - options include hybrid working, 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
- Transition to postgraduate studies if desired

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.
