Job Title: Senior Genomics Research Scientist

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Genomics Research Scientist to join our team at the Australian Defence Force Malaria and Infectious Disease Institute (ADFMIDI). As a Senior Genomics Research Scientist, you will play a key role in leading research and surveillance activities investigating population genomics/population genetics of pathogens (malaria parasite, arbovirus, bacteria) to improve understanding of their genomes and evolution, and monitoring their temporal/spatial dynamics particularly the spread of diagnostic and antimicrobial resistant pathogens.

Key Responsibilities

  • Plan, lead and perform genomic and genetic analysis on human samples collected through health surveillances conducted in various countries, to identify pathogens, characterize genetic profiles or changes that pose threats to effectiveness of counter measures, and to determine their prevalence, distribution, origin and evolution.
  • Collaborate with the team to design and conduct research independently, and work with external teams to achieve research goals.
  • Develop and implement genomic and genetic techniques, data analysis tools, and other relevant methods to support research activities.
  • Provide training and guidance to junior team members on genomic and genetic techniques, data analysis tools, and other relevant methods.

About Our Team

The position is located at the Drug Resistance and Diagnostic Department, Australian Defence Force Malaria and Infectious Disease Institute (ADFMIDI), with a mission to improve malaria diagnosis and monitor malaria drug resistance to inform ADF diagnosis and treatment policies.

Our Ideal Candidate

We are seeking a candidate with a PhD and postdoctoral training in the field of pathogen genomics and population genetics. The ideal candidate should have excellent knowledge and research experience in the field of pathogen genomics and population genetics, with a proven track record of scientific publications. Experience in malaria (in vitro culture and genetic analysis), arbovirus and bacterial research is also desirable.

What We Offer

We offer a dynamic and collaborative work environment, with opportunities for professional growth and development. We are committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment, and offer a range of benefits, including occupational health and safety support, and opportunities for further education and training.
