About the Opportunity

We are seeking a highly skilled Computational Biologist to join our team at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research. As a key member of our Data Science Platform, you will collaborate with researchers and clinicians to apply and develop computational methods for analyzing and interpreting complex biomedical data.

The successful candidate will work on genomics studies with experimental and clinical researchers, contributing to all stages of the research process, from design and planning to data analysis, interpretation, and manuscript writing. This is a two-year contract with the possibility of extension, and the salary is dependent on experience.

Key Responsibilities
  • Analysis of high-throughput datasets, including quality control, unsupervised and supervised analyses, with emphasis on biological interpretation
  • Preparing figures for publication and contributing to manuscript writing
  • Experimental design and planning
  • Creating and maintaining modular and reusable workflows through the use of container and workflow management technologies
  • Developing best practices for computational workflows through evaluation/benchmarking of existing methods and/or original method development
  • Staying informed on advances in computational methods, genomics, and building and maintaining biological domain expertise
  • Contribute to training programs through designing and running workshops, mentoring, technical supervision, and code reviews
About You

We are looking for a candidate with a PhD degree in a related area of science or engineering, good statistical knowledge and programming skills, and a strong understanding of biology. Previous experience in analyzing and interpreting genomics data, such as single-cell genomics, spatial transcriptomics, RNA-seq, and whole-genome sequencing, is highly desirable. The successful candidate will have a strong publication record, be comfortable working with Unix and in an HPC environment, and be proficient in at least one scripting language (R, Python). Experience with software containers, workflow management systems, databases, and cloud computing is also highly valued.
