About this position
The Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute in Darlinghurst, Sydney, Australia, is recruiting a full-time Postdoctoral Scientist for the McNamara Lab on a one-year contract.
Working with Dr James McNamara, the successful candidate will contribute to research into the mechanisms underlying genetic heart disease. Projects involve human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) disease modelling, CRISPR-Cas9 screening, cardiac organoids, physiology, molecular biology, and sequencing-based multiomics.
Responsibilities include designing and executing cardiac research projects; culturing, maintaining, and differentiating human pluripotent stem cells; molecular cloning, vector design, lentiviral production, and genetic modification; generating and analysing cardiac organoids and functional datasets; contributing to multiomics experiments and analysis; preparing publications, presentations, grants, and fellowship applications; mentoring students; and supporting laboratory operations.
Applicants should hold a relevant PhD and demonstrate extensive mammalian cell culture experience, strong molecular biology expertise, experience with sequencing-based omics analysis, a strong publication record, and effective collaborative and communication skills. Experience with CRISPR screening, single-cell technologies, R or Python, hiPSC culture, or signalling biology is advantageous.
The salary is AUD $97,945–$102,305 plus 14% superannuation, with additional salary packaging and employee benefits. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so early application is encouraged.
