When you step into a role, what do you want the purpose of the company you work for to be? How does that align with the individual purpose that motivates your ambition? As the only independent Medical Research institute in Australia focused on childhood cancer, our purpose is to translate and discover (through world class research), new treatments that will cure cancer and reduce the side effects in children and adolescents. We save & change lives. At The Children’s Cancer Institute we believe that a life should be long. Cancer cuts life short for hundreds of children every year, before they’ve even had a chance to make their mark. We aim to not only improve their quality of life, but eradicate the cause of their pain. Choose to be part of a team that will nurture your talent and grow your career, so you too can contribute to this purpose. Together, we can and we will cure all children of cancer. It’s not if. It’s when. In this position, you will play an important role into generating the best laboratory evidence to ultimately drive clinical translation of results for one of the most difficult-to-treat types of childhood cancer, called sarcoma. The position will include work on in vivo sarcoma patient-derived xenograft models, including tumour implantation, in vivo therapy experiments, post-treatment tumour analysis (eg immunohistochemistry, western blot), and survival/growth analysis. We have a range of promising drugs lined up for in vivo testing, and a very real possibility that if these drugs continue to perform well in our experiments, accelerate clinical translation. It will also involve assisting in the molecular and functional studies of sarcoma cell lines and sarcoma samples, including examining the consequences of mutations/fusions, developing functional genomic screens, test drug responses, examine (phospho)protein signal transduction pathways, and identifying potential drug targeting strategies. As our Research Assistant your purpose will be to: Set-up and work with sarcoma patient-derived xenograft (PDX) models. This will involve the subcutaneous engraftment of PDXs, monitoring, and treating via oral gavage or IP. Assist with the development and maintenance of primary sarcoma cell lines Assist with drug screens and molecular work in the sarcoma cell line models Assist with general laboratory management including contributing to ordering supplies, maintaining laboratory inventory Achieve an outstanding level of competence in all aspects of experimental work  Contribute to quality publications Be involved in professional activities Collate, organise and present experimental results Be compliant with OH&S requirements for handling of human samples and according to Institute policies Abide by privacy legislation, ethics guidelines and the legal requirements for research involving human material  To succeed you will have… Experience with in vivo mouse models/techniques is highly desirable but not essential, as training can be provided.

An area of intense research focus is the asexual blood stage which is responsible for disease symptoms. This stage begins with the invasion of a single red blood cell by a single malaria causing parasite and is a dynamic and complex biological process. How the parasite can subvert the host membrane-cytoskeletal complex remains an open question. We are looking for a scientist who can help us understand how host derived mechanisms enable apicomplexan parasites to invade their host cells.

It is particularly suited to someone who wants to be at the cutting edge of live cell, 4-dimensional microscopy and who would like the opportunity to gain some expertise in this area. We currently use techniques such as lattice light sheet and high-speed confocal microscopy as well as AI based image analysis pipelines for the quantitative analysis of live cell data.  The research officer/assistant will focus on the development and implementation of novel microscopy methods to better understand the process of erythrocyte invasion by P.falciparum.

Who We Are Looking For
You should have experience in at least two of the following areas: state-space modelling, factor models, Structural Vector AutoRegressions (SVARs), and Machine Learning algorithms like Recurrent Neural Networks. Additionally, you should possess knowledge of the relevant applied macroeconomic literature and the ability to apply it, including explaining economic motivations for identification strategies in SVAR. Furthermore, you must have knowledge of, and experience in, at least one of Matlab, R, Python, or similar.

You should also exhibit the ability and willingness to collaborate in teams for successful project outcomes, along with a track record in written communication skills.

You will also have:

A PhD or near completion of a PhD in economics or related field that demonstrates expertise tied to the externally funded project;
Highly developed interpersonal and oral communications skills
An interest in policy-relevant research and the dissemination of that research to non- academic audiences
