Résumé du poste

The University of Adelaide invites applications from highly motivated early-career researchers to join the Adelaide Centre for Epigenetics (ACE) as a NHMRC grant funded Research Associate. This role focuses on stem cell and organoid biology, exploring gene regulation and development within a dynamic team.

You will conduct independent and collaborative projects, leverage advanced culture systems, and contribute to cancer biology and translational research, with access to cutting-edge genomics and

Qualifications

• Completion of a PhD in epigenetics or molecular and cellular biology, and/or equivalent professional experience.
• Demonstrated ability to conduct independent research, including leading research, where applicable in cancer systems and/or developmental biology including neurodevelopment.
• Experience in the use of complex stem cell and organoid culture systems.
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate within the team, across disciplines and with collaborators.
• High level organisational skills, including the ability to prioritise and manage workload within a busy environment and meet competing deadlines.
• Demonstrated rational problem solving and analytical skills.
• Experience with a diverse range of molecular and cellular biology techniques, including but not limited to: Tissue/cell culture, Western Blot, immunofluorescence, techniques and analysis relating to epigenetics, transcription factor biology and regulation of gene expression, animal handling and knowledge of animal ethics.
• Involvement in professional activity and a commitment to ongoing learning.
• Clear record of driving to success all aspects of a research project, including experimental design, execution, and writing of manuscripts.

Responsabilités

• Undertake independent and collaborative research projects focused on stem cell and organoid biology, contributing to studies investigating mechanisms of gene regulation, cellular differentiation, development, and disease progression.
• Join a collaborative team of researchers across stem cell biology, developmental biology, epigenetics, cancer biology, and translational research.
• Work within state-of-the-art infrastructure and engage with national and international collaborators.
