The Garvan Institute of Medical Research brings together world-leading clinicians and basic and translational researchers to break down barriers between traditional scientific disciplines and find solutions to disease.
Garvan’s 2030: Discoveries to Impact Strategy is designed to galvanise Garvan’s researchers, professional staff, partners, donors and community around our vision of Global leadership in discoveries to impact, and to enable us as an Institute to deliver on that vision – such that Garvan becomes an institute where research discoveries are taken through to patient impact (new treatments, tests and prevention approaches), on a global scale.
Garvan’s Data Science Platform (DSP) brings together computational experts working in: system administration/DevOps, software engineering, production bioinformatics and computational biology. The DSP works closely with teams across Australia, establishing national infrastructure for genomics and medical research. Our teams collaborate with leading genomics researchers at Garvan and beyond, providing computational expertise, building infrastructure and processing large datasets
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer (or a Mid-seniority one ready for the challenge of a Senior role) to join the DSP’s growing Software Engineering team. The Software Engineer will be responsible for the design, implementation, integration, testing, documentation, deployment and support of software and systems that enable genomics research. Most of our work involves free and/or open source software that Garvan either officially maintains or actively contributes to. This role will involve close collaboration with stakeholders from different research groups at Garvan, from our partner organisations and from the genomics research and software development community.
A snapshot of the projects we are currently working on includes the development and integration of eConsent platforms, the customisation and deployment of genomic data exploration portals and the design and implementation of software infrastructure suitable to support national genomics research. In particular, our team is the official maintainer of the dynamic consent platform CTRL, which is being extended with new integrations (e.g. the REDCap database and the data sharing tool elsa) and new use cases, based on our stakeholders’ needs. We are also co-developers of elsa, a tool that, together with CTRL, aims at automating the genomics data sharing process, allowing future collaborative research to easily and securely scale. Additionally we have recently performed the first deployment of gnomAD (a web application to explore large genomics datasets) at the Garvan Institute and are actively working on customising the deployment and data import process, with the goal of contributing relevant patches upstream. For details about these software packages see:
Because of the constantly evolving nature of the research community needs and of our collaborations, we are seeking someone curious and dynamic, who has a keen interest in exploring and learning new technologies and who enjoys finding solutions to complex new problems.
