The Genomics Team is a multidisciplinary research team working to reduce health inequality through the power of genomics, or the study of our genes and our DNA. With the use of genomic technologies, we can look at our DNA for answers about health conditions like Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), heart disease and cancer.

The Aboriginal Research Assistant will work within the Precision Cancer research area within the broader Indigenous Genomics Team to assist in the organisation, planning and delivery of key community engagement activities for precision cancer research projects.

The role will include engaging with Aboriginal community members in South Australia to organise and assist with undertaking effective community engagement workshops, interviews and surveys, develop and manage a Cancer Community Reference Group and collect and manage data from engagement activities.

Reporting to the Postdoctoral researcher in Indigenous Genomics who works within the Precision Cancer research program, this is a full-time role where the successful applicant will spend most of their time in the office and some time travelling and out in the field assisting the team in conducting community engagement activities.
