We are seeking a skilled bioinformatician to join our team. You will have an interest and previous experience analysing omics datasets – including single cell, spatial transcriptomic and proteomic data. You will apply this experience to perform cutting edge analyses to a range of liver disease and cancer projects across our research programme.
You will be a critical member of a predominantly wet-lab team who are eager to make the most of multi-omics data generated in-house.
This post is full-time (35 hours per week); however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.
The salary for this post is £34,610 to £39,906per annum, depending on experience. The position is initially available for 24 months.
Your skills and attributes for success:
Willing to provide approachable and enthusiastic support across the spectrum of bioinformatics analysis, but with a particular focus in single cell and spatial methodologies.
Maintain the highest quality records, analysis and outputs.
Keep up to date with the latest methodologies and pipelines, applying these to our in-house datasets and previously published data.
Be engaged with wide-ranging biological questions (particularly in liver disease and cancer).
Be willing to provide training to other members of the research group.
