...join the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics (ACPFG)
bioinformatics team working on cereal crops such as hexaploid wheat.
Position Summary

The ACPFG is a cereal crop genomics facility which conducts research in
plant genomics to develop cereal cultivars which are more resistant to
environmental stresses, such as drought and salinity. To this end
researchers investigate the genetic mechanisms that regulate the
responses to specific stresses at the molecular level, and try to
unravel the underlying regulatory networks that control plant growth
under stress conditions. The Bioinformatics Officer will contribute to
the development of computational and bioinformatics capability of the ACPFG.

Scope
There is approx. 130 staff employed by the ACPFG across 4 nodes located
at the Universities of Adelaide, South Australia, Melbourne and
Queensland. Working under limited supervision, the Bioinformatics
Officer will be located at the Waite campus of the University of
Adelaide and will provide support to a Pioneer - DuPont funded project,
and work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams. It is expected
that the incumbent will have experience in a UNIX/Linux environment with
strong programming skills.

Knowledge and Experience
     Experience in a UNIX/Linux environment and strong programming
skills in at least two of the following; R, C/C++, Perl, Python, SQL,
PHP or Java.
     Demonstrated experience with next generation sequence data
     Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively within
multi-disciplinary teams
     Demonstrated analytical, problem-solving and communication skills
     Ability to manage and prioritise multiple objectives
     Experience with genomic and transcriptiptomics data analysis
(microarrays, RNA-Seq, SNP) is desirable

Qualifications
Masters, Honours or Bachelors in Bioinformatics, Computer Science,
Statistics, Physics, Engineering or related field or an equivalent
combination of education and experience.
