YOUR ROLE IN OUR FUTURE
Fixed Term Full Time Role
The Molecular Pathology Laboratory in the Department of Pathology is seeking an experienced Bioinformatician to join our Wilson Centre for Blood Cancer Genomics Team to support the molecular diagnostic service. This fixed-term role will support The Wilson Centre for Blood Cancer Genomics at Peter Mac to develop a comprehensive, accessible, modular genomics platform for haematological malignancies. The successful candidate will need strong software engineering skills and experience managing secondary pipelines required for genomics panels.
The key duties and responsibilities of this position include:
1. Development and implementation of semi-automated NGS analysis processes
2. Implementation of decision support software for NGS report building
3. Advising on cloud strategies for molecular haematology service and research projects
4. Developing quaternary data aggregation software for browsability of genomic results
5. Contributing to quality management and accreditation
6. Participating in research projects within the Wilson Centre
Suitable candidates will be self-driven, patient-focused, and possess genetics and molecular biology experience. Experience in developing and implementing genomic software applications to facilitate novel genomic assays will be advantageous. Reporting to Associate Professor Piers Blombery, the position is full-time (80 hours per fortnight) for 12 months.
Victorian Department of Health has endorsed restructuring existing public pathology by consolidating laboratories into pathology networks under a lead health service. Pathology services from the Royal Melbourne Hospital, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, the Royal Women's Hospital, and the Royal Children's Hospital will transition to a single pathology service. This creates an exciting opportunity to expand the scope, scale, and reach of pathology services across the Parkville precinct to benefit all Victorians. This role will transition to the new lead health service once determined.
Applicants should provide a covering letter outlining key skills and experience to assist with our assessment.
