澳大利亚墨尔本大学2022年招聘博士后职位（生物信息学）

Research Fellow, Bioinformatics

University of Melbourne

Description

About the Role The Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity (Doherty Institute) is internationally renowned for its cutting-edge studies of infectious diseases and immunity, as highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic. To support ongoing and new research activities at the Doherty Institute, a new Computational Sciences Initiative has been formed. This is to provide new resources for computational and data sciences, incorporating bioinformatics, biostatistics, infectious disease modelling and artificial intelligence.

As part of the Institute's Computational Sciences Initiative, a Research Fellow is required to drive computational and statistical analysis of multi- omics datasets, applied to the areas of infectious diseases and immunology. The candidate will be self-motivated and develop a strong program of collaborative projects with other researchers in the Doherty Institute. This is anticipated to generate substantial new scientific discovery in areas spanning Immunology and Microbiology pursued in the institute. It will also facilitate the development of novel approaches in bioinformatics, particularly in the application of mathematical and computational techniques to analyse data from new and emerging ‘omic' technologies, including genomics, epigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Talented, highly motivated, computer scientists with an interest in infection and immunity are encouraged to apply
