Provides technical and operational support for cancer biology research, conducting experiments involving tissue culture, animal models, human samples, molecular biology, microscopy, and flow cytometry. Maintains data integrity, optimizes protocols, supports scientific communication and publications, trains colleagues, coordinates laboratory resources, and manages competing research timelines. The role focuses on cancer cell biology, immunology, cancer relapse, and tumor microenvironment research.

Lead the design, development, deployment, and operation of a Gen3-based research data platform on Google Cloud Platform. Responsibilities include coordinating single-cell omics and clinical-data ETL workflows, developing integrations with analysis tools, managing Kubernetes, Terraform/OpenTofu, and CI/CD infrastructure, gathering stakeholder requirements, contributing code and architecture decisions, improving developer tooling, and mentoring team members.

Leads Executive Office operations, governance infrastructure, executive preparation, stakeholder communications, and support for leadership forums and committees. Manages the Executive Assistant, coordinates calendars and meetings, prepares briefings and Board papers, oversees action follow-up, supports presentations, and provides research and analytical assistance to the Executive Director. The role requires exceptional organisation, communication, discretion, judgement, and ability to manage complex priorities in a scientific research environment.

Leads computational biology and machine learning research on cancer cell dormancy and relapse. Develops deep learning pipelines, foundation models, single-cell trajectory methods, and multi-omic analyses integrating imaging, molecular, and clinical data. Coordinates international collaborations, supervises junior staff and students, manages computational infrastructure and reproducible pipelines, contributes to grants and publications, and provides strategic computational leadership across the AllClear consortium.

Provide technical and operational support for a cancer genomics lab: develop and maintain bioinformatic pipelines for scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics, integrate multi-omic datasets, manage and archive data, contribute to codebase improvements, communicate results, assist publications and grants, train junior staff, coordinate projects and ensure compliance and data integrity.

The Senior Research Officer will lead a causal target validation program in genomics, executing experimental strategies and collaborating to derive insights linking genetic variations to immune functions.

This role is for visiting and honorary appointments only and requires application through the People & Culture team.

The Research Officer will lead investigations using iPSC technology, focusing on gene regulation, differentiation, and disease mechanisms, while collaborating within a multidisciplinary research environment.

The Senior Research Officer will develop next-generation protein therapeutics through molecular design and experimental validation, mentor junior scientists, and collaborate with cross-functional teams.
