www.cancerresearchuk.org), the largest independent cancer research organisation in the world. We are adjacent to The Christie
NHS Foundation Trust (
www.christie.nhs.uk), one of the largest cancer treatment centres in Europe. These factors combine to provide an exceptional environment in which to pursue basic, translational and clinical research programmes.
Our aim is to understand the fundamental basis of cancer and apply that knowledge to developing new treatment strategies for cancer patients. Our advanced research programmes span a spectrum of cancer research, from the molecular and cellular basis of cancer through to drug discovery, translational research and clinical trials.
The Institute has outstanding laboratory facilities and exceptional core services, including next generation sequencing, microarrays, confocal microscopy, bioinformatics, histology and mass-spectrometry.
We are situated in Manchester, England, a vibrant and dynamic city that is surrounded by beautiful countryside and has excellent transport links both nationally and internationally.
We are currently looking for a computational biologist within the Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology Group (
CEP) and the newly established Manchester Centre for Cancer Biomarker Sciences (
MCCBS). The aim of this post is to contribute to the success of translational research aimed at next generation sequencing (
NGS) of nucleic acids obtained from patient blood samples. The overall goal of this project is to identify information that can be used to optimise cancer patient treatment selection.
The successful applicant should have a degree in computational biology, mathematics or related discipline (or equivalent relevant experience) or significant relevant experience analysing genomics data.
