Job Description:
We have an exciting opportunity for a talented bioinformatician to join a team led by Dr Stephen Sansom at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology (KIR). In this role, you will work in the computational genomics group to develop and run bioinformatics pipelines for the analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. Taking advantage of our state-of-the-art high-performance compute (HPC) facility you will collaborate closely with wet-lab scientists to analyse diverse types of data including those from RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq, ATAC/ChIP-seq, micobiome and CyTOF experiments. At the KIR - which is a world-class academic research Institute - researchers are now using such techniques to advance understanding and treatment of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, cancer and inflammatory bowel disease. You will hold a degree of direct relevance to bioinformatics data analysis (or equivalent experience). Strong programming skills and experience with analysis of next-generation sequencing data essential for this post. A PhD in bioinformatics or computational biology, record with collaborative scientific research and of Immunology would be desirable.
Additional Info:
Informal enquires to Dr Stephen Sansom are welcomed (stephen.sansom@kennedy.ox.ac.uk). This is a full-time fixed-term appointment for 3 years. A lower grade offer may be made (Grade 6: £28,098 - £33,518 p.a.) with commensurate reduction in responsibilities (and amendment in job title to Research Assistant in Bioinformatics) if a suitable candidate cannot be found to fill the Grade 7 position. The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Monday 5 March 2018. https://www.recruit.ox.ac.uk/pls/hrisliverecruit/erq_jobspec_version_4.jobspec?p_id=133277[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
