Job Description:
University of Birmingham College of Life and Environmental Sciences School of Biosciences: MRC Birmingham Regional Phenome Centre Bioinformatics (Metabolomics-specific) Research Fellow 1 Salary from £28,982 to £37,768 a year Fixed-term for 3 years in the first instance As part of a £8m award from the MRC, industry and University of Birmingham, we are currently establishing a state-of-the-art metabolic phenotyping facility to conduct research in stratified medicine. Phenome Centre-Birmingham (PC-B) will apply eleven new liquid chromatography-mass spectrometers (LC-MS), two NMRspectrometers, liquid handling robots and high specification computational infrastructure to better understand metabolic perturbations in human health and disease. The facility is anticipated to conduct tens of thousands of analyses per year, creating genuinely ‘Big Data’. The PC-B will interact closely with the MRC-NIHR National Phenome Centre in London to further enhance UK capacity and capabilities in metabolic phenotyping. We seek a highly motivated bio-informatician to join the 10-person PC-B team and contribute to fulfilling the research objectives of this centre with a focus on the development, implementation and application of computational approaches for metabolic phenotyping. The position will be primarily to develop and implement a data processing pipeline, include the experimental design, pre-processing, and statistical analysis of large scale LC-MS based metabolomics studies; collaboration with researchers within and external to the university (academic, industry, scientific instrument manufacturers); and providing training and support in bioinformatics. Applicants should hold a PhD (awarded) in computational metabolomics, cheminformatics, bioinformatics or a closely related area, with experience and demonstrated success of working independently and as part of a large team in a bioanalytical or academic research facility in industry or academia as well as having a growing national reputation in metabolomics. The University offers a variety of courses for personal development of its employees. The University of Birmingham is a family-friendly employer. The School of Biosciences welcomes flexible and part-time working to suit family or other commitments. The University has on-campus childcare facilities. The post is available in the first instance for 3 years, with the expectation for significant extension subject to the success of the MRC Birmingham Regional Phenome Centre. Informal enquiries can be addressed to Professor Mark Viant (tel: +44 (0)121 414 2219 or email:M.Viant@bham.ac.uk) or Dr Warwick Dunn (tel: +44 (0)121 414 5923 or email: W.Dunn@bham.ac.uk).
