Systematic Medicine identifies therapeutic targets that slow or reverse the progression of age-related diseases and cancer. We are fully funded through a long-term commitment from our parent company - a leader in clinical research services - and operate from a dedicated lab in the Jumar Bioincubator at the recent CSL building in Parkville.

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Research Assistant (5+ years in industry or academia) to support our research programs. The role is primarily hands‑on benchwork, including mammalian cell culture, flow cytometry and molecular biology, alongside a share of lab operations such as stock management, equipment upkeep and general lab maintenance.

What We're Looking For

- Extensive experience in mammalian cell culture, including handling of adherent lines
- Proficiency in core molecular biology techniques: gel electrophoresis, DNA extraction and quantification, and PCR
- Hands‑on flow cytometry experience, including sample preparation, staining, acquisition,



and analysis of multi‑colour panels
- Ability to follow experimental direction from senior research scientists and collaborate on protocol development and optimisation
- Willingness to contribute to lab operations and upkeep as required, helping keep the lab organised, stocked and ready for research
- Experience in mouse handling, dissection and preparation of organs for flow cytometry analysis is desirable, but not essential

We are looking for someone who enjoys hands‑on bench work and is happy to support the team by keeping the lab running smoothly. The ideal candidate is organised, motivated and efficient — someone who takes initiative, is accountable and dependable, and who communicates clearly. They work well in a team and are adaptable to changing needs.

Working conditions

This is a full-time, on-site position, based in Parkville.
