Job Description:
This post is available for five years to lead and manage the bioinformatics section of the Precision Medicine Centre of Excellence (PMC). The post holder will develop, validate and maintain analytical tools, data analysis pipelines and algorithms to analyse genomic information from cancer specimens, in the context of clinical studies and clinical trials. The successful applicant will oversee and supervise the analysis and interpretation of vast amounts of biological, clinical and scientific data, including genomics, transcriptomics and digital pathology imaging and providing timely and accurate feedback. They will correlate biological findings with clinical outcomes and integration with other datasets such to develop new diagnostic, prognostic and predictive tools. The post holder will perform data analysis in large cohorts of samples and will require providing statistical analysis as appropriate. The successful candidate will contribute significantly in report, manuscript and grant preparation and writing. He/She will be responsible for providing support for generation and implementation of data analysis pipelines, data management strategies, as well as generation of clinical, genomics and imaging databases. They will be expected to integrate into a multidisciplinary environment provided on site, and to interact with key clinical and scientific stakeholders. The successful candidate must have:
