PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Cell Biology in Australia

This opening is for a highly accomplished senior postdoctoral researcher to help lead a causal target validation program at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Sydney. The project sits at the interface of functional genomics, mechanistic biology, and translational therapeutic discovery, using large-scale genomic insights to uncover how genetic variation alters gene regulation, cellular states, and disease biology. The work builds on the TenK10K initiative, described in the advert as the ...
