Job Description:
Applications are invited for a Bioinformatics Experimental Officer position to work with investigators at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Matrix Research (WTCCMR, http://www.wellcome-matrix.org). You will provide bioinformatics expertise to on-going projects at the Centre, working in particular on the analysis and interpretation of large datasets produced from ‘-omics’ and high-content imaging methods. The role will require the development of analysis solutions to complex biological problems, using established data-processing pipelines (e.g. for proteomics or image analysis; accessing online databases and repositories), novel coding (e.g. Matlab, Python) and statistical analysis (e.g. using ‘R’).

You will have a Ph.D. degree in bioinformatics or a related area of research. Work will be based at the WTCCMR and will be in close collaboration with the Core Facilities at the Centre. Duties will include design of experiments, data processing, training co-workers, presentation of work and preparation for publication.

Successful candidates will be subject to pre-employment screening carried out on our behalf by a third party. The offer of employment will be dependent on the successful candidate passing that screening. Whilst you will be required to provide express consent at a later stage, by continuing with your application now you acknowledge that you are aware that such screening will take place, and agree to take part in the process.
