Job Description:
Applications are sought for a senior Data Scientist/Bioinformatician to join an international translational research programme in skin ageing using an integrated Omics-Environment-Lifestyle approach. The post will be based in the Bioinformatics Unit, Centre of Molecular Oncology, Barts Cancer Institute, within the Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London. This project is in close collaboration with Chanel Beauty, Research and Innovation in France and the University of Kyoto in Japan. The successful applicant for this post will analyse a unique cohort with over 20 years follow-up to translate data into actionable knowledge about skin aging. The successful candidate will build a health informatics/bioinformatics platform to enable -omics data analysis and integration with clinical attributes, behavioural medicine and epidemiology data. The proposed health informatics/bioinformatics platform could be the basis of a future model for community-based health promotion and monitoring. The post is a fulltime, fixed-term position for 2 years. Starting salary will be in the Grade 6 range £45,577 - £50,881 per annum dependent on experience and inclusive of London Allowance. Benefits include 30 days annual leave, a defined benefit pension scheme and an interest free season ticket loan. Qualifications: Essential requirements for this post include a MSc and PhD degree in Computer Science/Data Science/Computational Biology/Bioinformatics or a relevant discipline, and substantial experience in relational database design and implementation. The successful applicant also needs to be proficient in -omics data analysis (at least three years’ experience in GWAS and/or NGS) as well as web application development. Experience of data management within a health environment and knowledge on contemporary data science technologies are desirable. Knowledge of French and Japanese languages will be an advantage. Programmatically this post requires expertise in relational database management systems including MySQL, scripting language including Perl, Python and R, and database-oriented web application development technologies. Experience of additional languages, e.g. Java or C, would be highly desirable. Familiarity with Linux network/server administration will be an advantage. Knowledge of Research Governance, data Protection Act and Good Clinical Practice is highly desirable. The post-holder will be required to work flexibly with various members in the Bioinformatics team at the collaborating teams in Paris and Kyoto. A demonstrated ability to communicate well and working within a team are therefore essential.
