Job Company: Rothamsted Research
The post-holder will be a senior Bioinformatician who will be expected to be familiar with a range of sequencing methods and data (Illumina, PacBio, Oxford Nanopore, 10x Genomics) and be an expert in genome assembly, annotation and comparative genomics. The successful candidate will collaborate with scientists across various disciplines and liaise with sequencing centres and bioinformatics platform providers to ensure delivery of several high quality, completed insect genomes per year.

We are seeking an enthusiastic Bioinformatics Software Engineer to contribute to a large cross-institute program called Designing Future Wheat (DFW). This is a collaboration between several UK research institutes with the aim to develop improved wheat varieties for future generations. You will be based at Rothamsted Research and work within the Bioinformatics group and collaborate closely with other partners at Earlham Institute, the European Bioinformatics Institute and University of Bristol.

We are seeking an enthusiastic Bioinformatics Database Engineer to work on PHI-base, a resource allowing researchers without specialist bioinformatics skills to understand how fungal, bacteria and protist pathogens cause disease in plants, animals and humans. PHI-base containing data from over 200 pathogenic species. The successful candidate will develop the existing scheme to support new data types and work on a new curation tool called PHI-CANTO, that will permit researchers to enter the data from their own research publication into PHI-base in a guided and controlled way.

Rothamsted Research is seeking a highly motivated Bioinformatics Analyst with experience working in the field of metagenomics or microbial genomics. The successful candidate will conduct research and collaborate with scientists using high throughput sequencing technologies on metagenomic and transcriptomic strategies, examining the microbial communities and processes that underlie sustainable soil systems, microbial community functional resilience and plant-microbe interactions. You will take a leading role in developing new strategies to analyse and interpret HTS metagenomic and transcriptomic datasets from soil, plant and environmental biomes, incorporating total community analysis (functional gene analysis, phylogenetic and network analysis), comparative genomics, de novo assembly of targeted community genes and selected microbial genomes.

We are seeking an enthusiastic Bioinformatics Engineer to develop a user-friendly tool, called DiseaseNetMiner, that will allow researchers without specialist bioinformatics skills to explore and compare the wealth of existing ‘omics data from multiple species with their own latest cutting-edge results to understand how fungal pathogens cause disease and how the host species try to defend themselves. This BBSRC awarded project will make use of the free and open-source frameworks QTLNetMiner (https://ondex.rothamsted.ac.uk/QTLNetMiner/) and Ondex (www.ondex.org) that we have previously developed at Rothamsted Research. You will work within the Applied Bioinformatics team which brings together biology, computational science and bioinformatics to provide new leads for crop improvement and smart crop protection, and also collaborate closely with colleagues from the pathogen genomics and PHI-base (www.phi-base.org) teams at Rothamsted Research.
