Opportunity: Postdoctoral Research Scientist (#115360) @ MRC Functional Genomics Unit at the University of Oxford, UK
Submitted by Dr Vivienne Collins; posted on Friday, September 26, 2014
BACKGROUND
We are seeking an ambitious and motivated scientist interested in combining next-generation analyses and network profiling techniques with `omics' profiles (genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics) obtained from iPSC-derived cells to better understand a range of neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders, as well as diabetes.
RESPONSIBILITIES
This post, funded by the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI), lies at the heart of a large international consortium (http://www.stembancc.org) that is generating and interrogating induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cells to investigate human disorders and identify novel therapeutics. You will be joining and developing within a research group that has established an international reputation for genome-scale data analyses, disease genomics and pathway analyses. From your cellular `omics' perspective, you will have opportunities to interact with many of the 35 StemBANCC partners and lead on diverse challenges, from cell identity through to disease phenotype through to therapeutic response.
REQUIREMENTS & PREFERENCES
A relevant PhD degree, experience of scripting (e.g. Perl/Python) and advanced UNIX/linux skills are essential. Expertise in current bioinformatics tools and resources, functional genomics and method development will also be desirable. Excellent organisational and communication skills are required, together with the ability to work well independently and within a team.
TERMS & COMPENSATION
This fixed term post is available immediately and is funded until 30 September 2017. Salary - University Grade 7: GBP 30,434 to GBP 37,394 p.a.
LOCALE
You will work in the MRC Unit within the Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics at the University of Oxford. The Functional Genomics Unit is a world-renowned centre for comparative genomics and research into neurological disorders. We offer excellent computational and laboratory facilities in the Henry Wellcome Building of Gene Function. Additional information about the Unit can be found at http://www.mrcfgu.ox.ac.uk, whilst informal enquiries can be made to Dr Caleb Webber at caleb.webber[at]dpag.ox.ac.uk.
DEADLINE
The closing date for applications is midday (GMT) Monday 10th November 2014.
Interviews to be held Wednesday 25th November 2014.
