We are seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Training Research Fellow with bioinformatics expertise to join the Treatment Resistance Team led by Dr Gert Attard within the Centre for Evolution and Cancer (CEC). The project will focus on using novel approaches to interpret next-generation sequencing data obtained from sequential circulating cell-free DNA samples and tumours from patients with clinically-relevant prostate cancer cohorts with carefully annotated clinical follow-up data. [More]

Two postdoctoral positions are available at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute (WTSI) under the leadership of Dr Peter Campbell. This is an exciting opportunity for the successful candidate to apply novel bioinformatic algorithms to unravel the mutational signatures that will hopefully explain the major global differences in cancer incidence, to understand the biological mechanisms underlying cancer-causing mutational processes and to explore their application towards surveillance of mutagenic exposures in human populations.  [More]

In the Sanger Institute Malaria Programme, we are generating large scale genomic and transcriptomic data and we are looking for driven individuals to join our analysis team. Our new initiative will generate thousands of parasite and mosquito genomes each year from around the globe. To make the most of these data, we want to implement additional technological (e.g., long read sequencing, single cell sequencing) and analytical (e.g., machine learning, variation graphs) advances. [More]

The primary goal of this position is to be involved in the Open Targets funded study of human neuronal cultures derived from patients with familial Alzheimer’s disease (AD) mutations using single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq). The main goal is to characterize and compare different cell-types for mutants and controls to identify the pathways that result in early onset AD. [More]
