　　The Opportunity

　　Two Postdoctoral positions are available immediately, to join the newly formed Gastrointestinal Genetics Research Group directed by Prof Mauro D’Amato at the School of Biological Sciences, Monash University. Our team combines genomic, computational and pre-clinical expertise to elucidate the pathogenetic mechanisms predisposing to gastrointestinal (GI) disease. The druggable genome, nutrigenetics and host (genome) – microbiota interactions are also new research lines within the group. We take advantage of an extremely vast network of international collaboration with academic, clinical and pharma partners worldwide; the ultimate goal of our studies is their translational application for therapeutic precision in ga*stroenterology.

　　The Candidate’s Responsibilities:

　　We are seeking a bioinformatician/computational biologist for large-scale genetic, metagenomic and multi-omics research projects, focused on the genetic causes of inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, microscopic colitis and other GI conditions. The successful candidate will be mainly responsible for project(s) involving large-scale data analysis (genomics, (epi)genetics, transcriptomics, metagenomics etc), the intrepretation of results and their communication in scientific journals and at international meetings.

　　The Candidate’s Attributes:

　　·         PhD in computer science, bioinformatics, biostatistics, genetics, biology or related field, with experience in analysis of large datasets (previous experience of working with large-scale biobank data is considered a special merit)

　　·         Experienced user of R/Bioconductor, Python and programming languages. Unix environments and high-performance computing clusters

　　·         Demonstrated knowledge of bioinformatic and computational approaches to the study of human genetic diseases, and good understanding of the “biology” behind scientific questions

　　·         Computational skills associated with genome-wide analyses (GWAS, EWAS, NGS, miRNA, transcriptomics, metagenomics etc), multivariate analyses, meta-analyses

　　·         Additional background in mathematics, statistics, and machine learning is a plus

　　·         Team-work attitude, impeccable organizational skills, and previous participation in international research activities/projects/publications

　　·         Excellent spoken and written English
