Bioinformatics Postdoctoral Position: A 3-year fixed-term full-time postdoctoral opportunity is available in the newly established Adelaide Centre for Epigenetics (ACE). The position offers the chance to work within Professor Jose Polo’s group, focusing on the application and development of computational methods for analyzing single-cell, spatial Omics, and epigenomics data. The research will be conducted in collaboration with ACE, which is dedicated to epigenetic research and cell fate, including studies in development, reprogramming, and cancer.
Designation: Bioinformatics Postdoctoral Position
Research Area: Biology, computational biology, applied mathematics, computer science, physics, biostatistics, statistics, or bioinformatics, or equivalent
Location: Adelaide Centre for Epigenetics (ACE), Adelaide, Australia
Eligibility/Qualification:
Level A:
- Completion of a PhD in biology, computational biology, applied mathematics, computer science, physics, biostatistics, statistics, or bioinformatics, or equivalent qualifications or research experience.
- Programming experience with bash and R and/or Python scripting languages.
- Experience in analyzing and integrating single-cell NextGen sequencing data.
- Experience in analyzing and integrating bulk RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq/CUT&Tag-seq, and DNA genome-wide methylation datasets.
- Evidence of strong contribution to research in the relevant field of study.
Level B (additional qualifications):
- Strong track record of high-quality publications and conference presentations relative to opportunity.
- Techniques for reproducible research and version control, including experience generating knitr reports, GitHub repositories, and R package development.
