Bioinformatician

The University of Edinburgh - CMVM / School of Genetics and Cancer

Full-time: 35 hours per week

Fixed-term: for 2 years

The Opportunity:

We are seeking a skilled bioinformatician to join our team. You will have an interest and previous experience analysing omics datasets – including single cell, spatial transcriptomic and proteomic data. You will apply this experience to perform cutting edge analyses to a range of liver disease and cancer projects across our research programme.

You will be a critical member of a predominantly wet-lab team who are eager to make the most of multi-omics data generated in-house.

This post is full-time (35 hours per week); however, we are open to considering part-time or flexible working patterns. We are also open to considering requests for hybrid working (on a non-contractual basis) that combines a mix of remote and regular on-campus working.

The salary for this post is £34,610 to £39,906 per annum, depending on experience. The position is initially available for 24 months.

Your skills and attributes for success:

• Willing to provide approachable and enthusiastic support across the spectrum of bioinformatics analysis, but with a particular focus in single cell and spatial methodologies.
• Maintain the highest quality records, analysis and outputs.
• Keep up to date with the latest methodologies and pipelines, applying these to our in-house datasets and previously published data.
• Be engaged with wide-ranging biological questions (particularly in liver disease and cancer).
• Be willing to provide training to other members of the research group.
