Job Description:
As part of this team we are hiring a Genomics Data Manager to track data throughout the UMCCR, work with local and remote IT teams to manage storage of clinical and genomic information, and to disseminate results to the scientific community. The Genomics Data Manager will lead the planning, implementation and growth of our data management workflows. Your tasks include the maintenance and development of a commercial Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to support clinical and research projects that utilise next-generation sequencing technologies. The incumbent will work with local and offsite IT staff to migrate data between sites, explore data encryption and transfer options and test the suitability of data management systems such as MediaFlux for genomic data. In collaboration with colleagues at UMCCR and the Australian Genome Research Facility (AGRF) you will develop data submission strategies to public repositories (EGA, ICGC, Cancer Genome warehouses). The incumbent will explore data visualisation approaches and data portals to summarise genomic data for the quality assurance team to support ongoing accreditation efforts. Qualifications: * Undergraduate degree in computer science, statistics, bioinformatics or equivalent experience in large scale data management and reporting. * Demonstrated expertise with Python, R or other high-level programming languages. * Hands-on experience managing data from large-scale studies. * Practical understanding of database design and development. * Strong experience working in a Unix environment. * Demonstrated understanding of best practices for software development.

The University of Melbourne Centre for Cancer Research (UMCCR), led by Professor Sean Grimmond, has the mission to improve cancer patient outcome through genome discovery, translation and personalised medicine. It seeks to achieve this by advancing the molecular detection & diagnosis of cancer, prioritising therapeutic selection via Computational Oncology, and enabling programs in personalised cancer care. Spanning more than 5000 square meters the UMCCR provides specialist laboratories for cancer cell biology, DNA biobanking, rapid large scale, HTS sequencing and organoid generation and testing. Once fully occupied, the Centre is expected to house more than 260 researchers. It is part of the Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre located in the Melbourne Biomedical Precinct, an environment for more than 25 health services, academic research institutes and startups. We are building up a Genomics Platform Team to develop, test and apply accredited bioinformatics workflows to patient data and large scale research projects, evaluating new technologies at a rapid pace.
