Join the National Biodiversity DNA Library (NBDL) and help shape the future of biodiversity science in Australia. Working within a multidisciplinary team, you will coordinate and deliver bioinformatics activities that support large-scale DNA sequencing campaigns, ensuring high-quality, scientifically robust data products are delivered to support research, biodiversity monitoring and the uptake of eDNA technologies.

This role combines bioinformatics, project coordination and scientific collaboration. You will work closely with molecular biologists, bioinformaticians, taxonomists and collection partners to deliver research outcomes, improve bioinformatics approaches, and support the successful adoption of NBDL data and services.

We're looking for a well-organised and collaborative scientist with broad knowledge of organismal genomics and an understanding of taxonomic and systematic principles. You'll be creative, solutions-focused and outcome-driven, with the ability to bring your expertise to complex challenges while working effectively across disciplines. The role would suit candidates from a variety of backgrounds, including researchers interested in moving towards a stronger project and research coordination focus while remaining closely connected to scientific delivery.



Your high-level duties will include:

Coordinating and performing bioinformatics activities for Australia's National Biodiversity DNA Library.
Coordinating and delivering high-quality DNA data analysis and research outcomes.
Collaborating with researchers, museums, collections and biodiversity experts nationwide.
Identifying innovative solutions to scientific and technical challenges.
Sharing research outcomes through publications, presentations and stakeholder engagement.
