About the area

Minderoo OceanOmics Centre at UWA is a world-class research facility established through a collaboration between The University of Western Australia and Minderoo Foundation. Located in the Bayliss Building on UWA’s Crawley Campus, the Centre uses ground-breaking genomics-based research to characterise marine biodiversity. Focusing on Australia’s native marine vertebrates and regional marine ecosystems, we integrate advanced genomics infrastructure, specialist expertise, and strong collaborative networks to generate large-scale Environmental DNA (eDNA) and whole-genome sequencing datasets. Our work establishes a genomics-enabled foundation for biodiversity discovery, ecological understanding, informed conservation-management and the development of innovative biomonitoring solutions.

About the opportunity

Support day-to-day operations of the OceanOmics Centre, including eDNA and genomics laboratory workflows.
Collaborate with researchers, academic and professional staff to develop and optimise protocols and ensure high-quality data production.
Contribute to the development of open-access repositories of marine vertebrate reference genomes and broad-scale marine eDNA datasets.

About you

Tertiary qualification in science (e.g., genetics, genomics, molecular biology) or equivalent experience.
Skilled in DNA extraction, sequencing library preparation, and use of molecular biology instrumentation.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with high attention to detail.
Experience training others in laboratory procedures and maintaining accurate records.
Excellent communication and organisational skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively.
