Job Description:
We are seeking to appoint a bioinformatician/computational biologist to join our virology-focussed bioinformatics team and enhance the research activities of the MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research (CVR) (http://www.cvr.ac.uk/ ). CVR Bioinformatics comprises a large team of MRC-funded researchers embedded in the Centre (http://www.bioinformatics.cvr.ac.uk/). The postholder will work with us to support researchers and carry out independent computer-based research. This will involve performing data analysis and developing novel analytical approaches for viruses and virus-host interaction data sets. These are typically from full viral genome sequencing projects, transcriptomic and proteomic experiments. Candidates with a background in bioinformatics, computational, systems or evolutionary biology, computer science, biostatistics and/or machine learning are encouraged to apply. We strongly encourage early career bioinformaticians to apply. You will be located at the Garscube Campus in the recently completed Sir Michael Stoker Research Building. The University of Glasgow was established in 1451 and is one of oldest and most successful research and teaching organisations in the world. Glasgow itself is Scotland’s largest city, third largest in the UK, and offers a vibrant and friendly place to live. We are close to the Scottish Highlands, Edinburgh and Glasgow international Airport is very well connected and only eight miles from the city centre. The position is funded until 31 March 2021 in the first instance. Informal enquires should be directed to the Head of CVR Bioinformatics, Prof David Robertson (david.l.robertson@glasgow.ac.uk). Salary will be on the University’s Research and Teaching Grade, level 6/7 depending on experience, £28,098 – £31,604/£34,520 – £38,833 per annum.

MRC-University of Glasgow Centre for Virus Research The CVR has invested significantly in bioinformatics and efforts are currently focussed on the development of novel computational strategies that can be used to answer questions of importance to our understanding of viral biology, infection, evolution, emergence, transmission and diagnostics. The CVR brings together virologists with computer-based researchers, and has advanced IT infrastructure and the facilities to handle viruses at various biosafety containment levels. Uniquely, the bioinformaticians are solely dedicated to virology and are experts in viral genomics, systems virology and evolution. The CVR is an OIE Collaborating Centre for Viral Genomics and Bioinformatics. Interested applicants should apply on-line at www.glasgow.ac.uk/jobs and seek Reference No. 018676 by 11th March 2018.
