Company : Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute Country : Role : Faculty | Research Scientist
The Wellcome Genome Campus has been at the forefront of genetic and genomic research since its inception, when it played a key role in the successful completion of the Human Genome Project. The Human Cell Atlas is a new generation of international collaborative genome-scale project focused on comprehensive sequencing of human cells and tissues at the resolution of individual cells with single cell transcriptomics.
This is an exceptional opportunity, at a scientifically fascinating moment in time, to build a team focused on profiling human cells and tissues using single cell genomics techniques coupled with computational analysis. Exciting recent advances in high-throughput single cell genomics have made a systematic, high-resolution map of cell in the human body a realistic prospect. This will offer unprecedented insights into biological processes and provide a new level of understanding of human health and disease.
The project lends itself to a modular workflow consisting of three elements: sample collection (including cell disaggregation and sorting), genomics and bioinformatics. These three elements will be supported by a team of wet and dry lab staff, brought together by an overarching management structure comprised of a Principal Staff Scientist who will be assisted by a Project Coordinator. Communication skills in order to ensure fruitful interactions with faculty within and outside Sanger/UK will be key to the success of the Principal Staff Scientist in this role.
You will be passionate about science and research, able to lead and develop a team of wet and dry lab scientists, and a natural collaborator who can build new partnerships and networks. You will play a key role in driving forward this exciting and ambitious genomics project over the next five to ten years.
