Exciting Postdoc/RA opportunity to advance Spatial and SingleCell Computational Immunogenomics applied to cancer, @SAiGENCI, Adelaide.

Deadline: 14th Jan

Fixed-term, full-time position available for 2 years.

The position is for a postdoctoral fellow in computational immunogenomics. This position will advance cancer diagnosis by analysing immune responses and treatment efficacy through data-driven research and a multi-omic approach.

Exploring the dynamics of circulating immune cells in blood reveals crucial insights into the immune system's response, its efficacy against metastatic cancer, and its reaction to various treatments. Profiling peripheral blood immune single cells and circulating cytokines, we uncovered patterns of immune cell communication and composition linked to metastatic progression.

This exciting position aims to expand this research to encompass the local tumour microenvironment and apply this approach to identify individual immune characteristics influencing immunotherapy success. We aim to employ a multiomic approach, analysing extensive patient data across all stages of disease progression. This research will utilise state-of-the-art facilities, including 10x Xenium, 10x CITE-seq, Milliplex and proteomics.

We're searching for a dynamic individual for the Computational Biologist/Bioinformatician/Biostatistician role. This position is ideal for someone who excels in integrating data-driven biological research, developing necessary computational or statistical methodologies, and effectively managing and analysing research data. Joining our team offers a unique opportunity to enhance your skill set, establish a solid research profile in computational biology and biomedicine, and contribute significantly to improving patient outcomes.
