Company : APC Microbiome Institute Country : Role : Research Scientist
Job Description:
The APC Microbiome Institute is a trans-disciplinary research centre, with clinicians, clinician-scientists and basic scientists from diverse backgrounds working in teams, sharing ideas and resources. Although focused upon the gastrointestinal bacterial community (the microbiota), the scale and scope of the work has become one of the fastest moving areas of biology. The microbiota is not only a target for treatment and prevention of disease, it is a repository for functional food ingredients and even new drugs and is a source of novel biomarkers of disease risk. The scientific organisation of the APC consists of a matrix of ‘spokes’ or themes of intellectual pursuit. This position is within APC’s Gut Phageomics Laboratory, consisting of up to 20 researchers investigating the role of the gut phageome in health and disease. The Research Fellow will work within APC’s ‘Spoke 5’ which is collaborating with a major multi-national pharmaceutical company to explore the role of bacteriophages in shaping the human gut microbiome. He/she will lead the bioinformatics team with the group and should have a proficiency in analyzing Illumina sequnence data, familiarity with the working with such data in the linux terminal environment as well as statistical analysis of microbiome count data in the R programming language. Experience with Bioconductor and/or Biopython would also be beneficial. The role is for 2.5 years. Qualifications: The candidate should hold a PhD with preferably 4-5 years’ experience, ideally with a background in microbiome data analysis, and a proven ability to conduct independent research to very high level.
