Job Description:
The post holder will take a lead role in the bioinformatics and computational biology projects in the ovarian cancer group. These projects will initially focus on identifying copy number signatures in ovarian high grade serous carcinoma and understanding the driver mutational processes that underlie these signatures. The aim is to generate low-cost shallow whole genome sequencing copy number signature assays that might be used in precision medicine strategies in ovarian high grade serous carcinoma. This project will involve collaboration with Computational Biologists at the CRUK Cambridge Institute. Applicants should demonstrate how they meet the essential criteria required of this post and in particular, hold a PhD in Life Sciences or Computing or a closely related discipline, or equivalent research, industrial or commercial experience. Additionally, applicants should have a proven published track record in bioinformatics and computational biology, experience of R, including writing code and R packages, experience with statistical computing and be computer literate with a good knowledge of different computer programs with experience in data presentation and statistical analyses. This post is full time and fixed term for 12 months in the first instance.
