Job Description:
This role is to provide computational infrastructure and bioinformatics support for the Advanced Sequencing Facility (ASF) at the Francis Crick Institute and will work jointly with members of both ASF and the Bioinformatics Core teams to achieve this. The ASF provides next generation sequencing support from multiple platforms to researchers across the Crick, from initial project design through library preparation and sequencing (https://www.crick.ac.uk/research/science-technology-platforms/advanced-sequencing/). The sequencing facility requires computational support to maintain and develop its Laboratory management system, to track sequence run metrics and quality, and to perform sequence analyses on R&D projects within the ASF and to contribute to the development of pipelines for automatically processing sequencing data. The role holder will report to the Heads of the ASF and the Bioinformatics Core. PROJECT SUMMARY: To provide general bioinformatics support and high-throughput data analysis services to the Advanced Sequencing Facility and provide further integration with the Bioinformatics Facility at Crick. To contribute to the maintenance and development of the IT infrastructure of the Crick Advanced Sequencing Facility, in particular the Laboratory Management System. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES: These include but are not limited to: • Supporting next-generation sequencing software pipelines and LIMS database. • System administration of LIMS. • Provide a first point of contact within the ASF for IT at Crick, in particular with regard to networking of instruments. • Carry out QC and bioinformatic analyses for ASF internal (R&D) sequencing projects. • Evaluate and provide new software and resources. • Integrate software into the current environment. • Collaborate with scientific personnel on a project-by-project basis, where required. • Help with Bioinformatics user support when required such as troubleshooting problems, and assisting in training courses. • Training of staff within the ASF to increase their awareness and knowledge of sequence analysis. KEY EXPERIENCE AND COMPETENCIES : The post holder should embody and demonstrate our core Crick values: Bold, Imaginative, Open, Dynamic and Collegial, in addition to the following: Essential: • Degree in computational or biological science. • Basic Linux Sysadmin. • Perl and/or R programming preferable but any high level language would be relevant. • API scripting. • Unix shell scripting. • Experience of next generation sequence analysis. • Demonstrable experience of sysadmin and programming. • Experience in dynamic Web development (dHTML,JS,CSS). Desirable: • Working with LIM systems. • Good understanding of methods of NGS analysis. • Previous work experience, ideally within a scientific environment. • Good Communication skills. • Ability to work within a team.
