Job Description:
We are looking for a highly motivated Bioinformatician/Senior Bioinformatician to contribute to the development of the analysis pipelines behind EMBL-EBI’s Single Cell RNA-Seq portal, a new added-value database providing information about gene expression in single cells across different cell types, tissues and conditions. A significant part of your work will involve working on the pipelines that will process data from the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) project for visualising through the portal. The HCA project aims to build comprehensive reference maps of all human cells. These maps will provide a basis for both understanding human health and the molecular basis of disease. For more information about the HCA project click here. You will develop, maintain and deploy robust analysis pipelines for single cell RNA-seq. In addition, you will also be contributing to the maintenance and running of our bulk RNA-Seq pipelines for our existing service Expression Atlas. You will work at EMBL-EBI located on the Wellcome Genome Campus, near Cambridge, in the UK. Your role will include the following tasks:

Benefits: EMBL is an inclusive, equal opportunity employer offering attractive conditions and benefits appropriate to an international research organisation. The remuneration package comprises a competitive salary, a comprehensive pension scheme and health insurance, educational and other family related benefits where applicable, as well as financial support for relocation and installation. We have an informal culture, international working environment and excellent professional development opportunities but one of the really amazing things about us is the concentration of technical and scientific expertise – something you probably won’t find anywhere else. If you’ve ever visited the campus you’ll have experienced first-hand our friendly, collegial and supportive atmosphere, set in the beautiful Cambridgeshire countryside.
