Canberra, Australia Australian National University Full time

**Classification**:ANU Officer Grade 4/5 (Technical)
**Salary package**:$67,731 - $81,579 per annum plus 17% superannuation

**Terms**: Full-time, Continuing Contingent Funded for 12 months

**Position overview**:
ANU has an international reputation for research and education relevant to the health and well-being of the population of Australia, as well as that of the developing world. This is achieved through discovery research, applied research in health service settings, research-led teaching in health and medical sciences, and the translation of research findings into practice and policy. The ANU College of Health and Medicine comprises the ANU School of Medicine and Psychology, the John Curtin School of Medical Research and the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health. These schools work together to deliver world-class research and education across the spectrum of medicine and health-related fields, working in partnership with the health sector at local, national and international levels.

The Technical Officer will support the research conducted by the Epigenetics and Genomic Stability Group in the Department of Genome Sciences within the John Curtin School of Medical Research, ANU College of Health & Medicine. The position will assist primarily a Synthetic Biology project to develop a molecular tool for personalized cancer treatment.

The Technical Officer reports to Associate Professor Tamás Fischer, and works primarily with senior academic and professional staff and students within The John Curtin School of Medical Research and the University. The Technical Officer will be responsible for contributing to and supporting projects as defined by funded grants awarded to the laboratory and collaboration with industry partners. The Technical Officer will be self-motivated and work with a high level of independence and be prepared to balance his/her workload between experimental work and helping the group leader to co-ordinate the laboratory. The experimental work will include various molecular biology, biochemistry and genomic techniques to develop a molecular tool that can distinguish between cancer cells and non-cancer cells by detecting specific mutations in the genome, and eliminating cancer cells very specifically, without the strong side-effects of current cancer treatments. The day-to-day work will include mainly molecular cloning and work with yeast, and at later stage of the project working with mammalian cell cultures and potentially with mouse models.

ANU values diversity and inclusion and is committed to providing equal employment opportunities to those of all backgrounds and identities.
