Job Description:
A bioinformatician with experience of the analysis of microarray datasets is sought for an exciting project to look at stratifying breast cancer patients to ensure they receive the most appropriate treatments. Building upon previous work, the study will involve integration and meta-analysis of large publicly available and local datasets to develop a clinical test that can be routinely used in the clinic. A first degree in biology, mathematics, computer science or related subjects and a higher degree (MSc, MRes or PhD) and/or relevant experience in bioinformatics with programming skills in R, Python or Perl are required. Previous experience of clinical/cancer studies or permutation-based analysis and high performance computing would be a distinct advantage.
The post is funded by an MRC Confidence in Concepts grant for an initial 6 to 9 months, but could be extended for at least another 12 months for the right candidate to work on related projects at the CRUK centre.
Informal enquires to andrew.sims@ed.ac.uk.
