Full time, 3-year fixed term opportunity with potential to extend
Join the Snow Vision Accelerator to drive a new research and drug development initiative at the University of Sydney's School of Mathematics and Statistics, Camperdown Campus
Develop statistical and computational capability for multi omics data analysis and drug discovery
Base Salary Level A/B $ $117,936 - $157,381 p.a + 17% superannuation

About the opportunity
We seek to appoint aPostdoctoral Research Associate / Research Fellow in Multi-Omics Data Scienceto work in the Snow Vision Accelerator at the University of Sydney, with a strong focus towards therapeutic discovery.
The Snow Vision Accelerator is an ambitious research and drug development initiative focused on transforming the treatment of glaucoma by uncovering the molecular mechanisms through which aging and associated metabolic dysfunction increase the vulnerability of the optic nerve to injury and neurodegeneration. The program integrates cutting-edge biology, data science, and translational drug discovery to identify, validate, and target age-related pathways underlying glaucomatous damage, and to develop drugs and new therapies that boost optic nerve resilience and prevent vision loss.
We are seeking to appoint aPostdoctoral Research Associate / Research Fellowwithin the bioinformatics and pathway discovery platform to be at the forefront of establishing statistical and computational analytical capability for drug discovery-based research using multi-omics data analysis. This role offers the opportunity to contribute to a uniquely integrated research setting, where computational, experimental, clinical and translational expertise are closely aligned within the SVA program, enabling researchers to work side by side and drive discovery through to translation
The successful applicant will also be part of the Sydney Precision Data Science Centre, the Charles Perkins Centre, and theSchool of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sydney.
In this role, you will be required to:
contribute significantly towards the research effort of the team with increasing autonomy
