Job Requirements: M.Sc. or higher Degree in Bioinformatics
We are looking for a dynamic leader in computational biology to join EMBL-EBI as Head of Research. EMBL-EBI is one of the world’s leading bioinformatics institutes with around 600 staff with a focus on both computational biology research and bioinformatics service delivery. Research at EMBL-EBI comprises 8-10 dedicated research groups along with 4 further teams who combine research activities and service delivery. As Head of Research you will provide leadership for the entire EBI research portfolio – similar to a Head of Department in a University setting but without teaching and with minimal administration commitments. You will also run your own research group. This is an exciting opportunity for a successful scientist with high calibre leadership skills to provide strategic direction for EMBL-EBI’s research and have substantial influence in the broader European computational biology research area.

The Senior Bioinformatics Engineers an exceptional candidate who has both deep bioinformatics experience and extensive software architecture experience. We operate at the crossroads of cancer genomics, software, and data science and are looking for that rare individual who has experience and passion for all three. Our platforms are focused on mining of cancer genomic data sets, understanding resistance to targeted therapy, matching genomic profiles to clinical trials, and identifying exceptional responders to targeted therapy. Technical and scientific challenges for the platform include data mining and visualization of large-scale cancer genomic data sets, extracting information from natural language text and building web-based data analytics platforms.

Cellular differentiation refers to acquisition of specific cell-fates during development. It has become evident that this process involves genomewide reprogramming of epigenetic modifications such as histone marks resulting in transcriptional changes that drives cell-fate. Building on our expertise in epigenomics and gene regulation, we aim to investigate function of certain novel chromatin regulators and transcription factors in mediating epigenome and transcriptome reprogramming during lineage commitment and terminal differentiation.

As part of our continued investment in the School of Biological Sciences (BIO) at UEA, we seek to recruit 4 talented, ambitious and dynamic lecturers. These appointments will add to thriving research areas withinBIO, and foster interdisciplinary collaborative work across the Faculty of Science, the Faculty of Health and our partner institutes on the Norwich Research Park. Successful candidates will be expected to develop an internationally competitive research programme that complements existing research strengths within the School. The specific research areas for this particular post include regulatory small RNAs, developmental biology and evolution. We particularly welcome applications from investigators with experience in analysing next-generation sequencing data (transcriptome, genome or epigenome sequencing). [More]
Moderna is seeking an exceptionally talented and highly motivated bioinformatician with a broad skill base to work as part of a highly collaborative, multi-disciplinary, and fast-paced team. Moderna s mission to develop mRNA therapeutics means that this position will be responsible for a wide range of projects, from comprehensive investigation of individual targets to efficient and concise analysis of large data sets. The successful candidate will work closely with the team to develop and apply bioinformatics tools and resources in support of numerous R&D projects and therapeutic programs. [More]
Modified DNA bases play an important epigenetic role in the regulation of gene expression in development and disease. In mammals there are four different cytidine modifications in genomic DNA known to have an epigenetic function, most prominently 5-hydroxymethylcotosine. There are many more known DNA modifications, whose function remain unknown and await characterization, including of the cellular enzymes that affect these modifications, which will be the aim of the project. Our lab has a broad expertise not only in molecular cell biology and bioinformatics, but in bioanalytical chemistry, where we are using LC/MS/MS detection for modified nucleobases. Beyond mass spectrometry analysis, we will knockout candidate genes in mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) by the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing technique and analyze the physiological relevance of these genes in pluripotency and during mESC in vitro differentiation by e.g. RNA sequencing. Given the biological importance of the new DNA modification, the project promises to be ground breaking, opening unexplored fields in epigenetics. This PhD project will be particularly suited for students with interest in biochemistry and/or bioorganic analytical methods, particularly mass spectrometry. [More]
We are looking for a motivated candidate with an academic background and an interest in developing the skills to manage projects independently. The role requires creative thinking, excellent developer and communication skills in an international environment and a ‘can-do’ philosophy. You will contribute to the planning and development of an integrative single entry point solution for 13 European research infrastructures to offer access to their resources in a cross-platform model. You will co-ordinate with both the developer of the Instruct web-based systems and the technical teams of other related projects. [More]
